If we don\u2019t change our habits, this number is expected to nearly triple by 2040. These plastics don\u2019t just float harmlessly they break into microplastics that harm marine life, enter our food chain, and impact ecosystems for generations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To give you a clearer picture: the plastic waste humans generate each year could circle the Earth four times. In fact, 91% of all plastic ever produced has not been recycled. It ends up in landfills, rivers, oceans and eventually, in our bodies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At Bags Europe, we believe change starts with conscious choices.
