Half of all plastics *ever* manufactured have been made in the last 15 years.
Production increased exponentially, from 2 million tons of plastics in 1950 to 448 million tons by 2015.
Production is expected to *double* by 2050.
Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the oceans from coastal nations.
