3.5 million tons per day; garbage will flood the Earth in 86 years.

  • 2013-12-03

Global pollution is not just about the greenhouse effect and emissions; science has confirmed that the rate of increase in waste has surpassed other environmental pollutants, gradually destroying the planet. A recent paper published in the internationally renowned scientific journal *Nature* shows that the world produces approximately 3.5 million tons of waste daily. If this rate continues, by 2100, the world will have produced an additional 11 million tons of waste daily, turning the Earth into a giant garbage dump. Major waste-producing countries include China, South Korea, Brazil, and Mexico, with some of their landfills handling over 10,000 tons of waste daily. Even the oceans are experiencing massive garbage eddies, and people are continuing to produce more than twice that amount of waste. The major waste problem is particularly acute in metropolitan areas, as urban residents typically generate two to four times the amount of waste compared to rural residents. However, urbanization worldwide is accelerating, significantly impacting waste reduction. To improve the current situation, the only solutions are to slow global population growth, fundamentally improve urban resource management, and upgrade packaging reduction technologies. Environmental experts believe that these improvements will not only benefit the environment but also have positive impacts on economic benefits and society as a whole. Experts at the journal *Nature* believe that Japan serves as a model in overall waste management. While the US and Japan have comparable GDP per capita, Japan generates one-third less waste per person than the US. For example, Kawasaki Heavy Industries reduced its waste by 565,000 tons annually after improving its industrial processes, demonstrating significant efficiency.
