Five figures to convince yourself of the nuisance of plastic bags
The plastic bag is so practical that the figures on its use are enough to make you dizzy.
The data on the harmful consequences of its use are even more spectacular..
700 million
This is the number of plastic bags used each year in France in supermarkets.
If the number may seem huge, it is however much lower than it was at the beginning of the years 2000.
At the time, near 10 billion bags were used each year. This drastic reduction is the result of a voluntary agreement between distributors.
• 1 second / 20 minutes / 400 years
These are the three key figures in the life of a plastic bag. Sa fabrication, in addition to being very simple, is extremely fast: 1 second. Its use begins when it is distributed at the merchant and ends at the individual. On average, it lasts 20 minutes. After, the bag is usually thrown away. It's not the end of his life though.. Of his long life, even. This can continue further 400 years before it disintegrates.
• 14400
This is the number of plastic bags that land, every hour, on French beaches. Over a year, it's more than 126 million bags that come to defile the coasts. The plastic bag represents, alone, 60 to 80% waste at sea.
• 100.000
100.000, is the number of marine mammals that die each year by ingesting plastic. In the sea, these confuse bags with jellyfish, which are part of their food.
• 1 million
This is the number of birds that die each year. Often, they confuse the small pieces of plastic floating on the surface with fish eggs.
