What Happens to Plastic Waste Globally
Our Mission
At BioPro Global, our mission is to drive systemic change by replacing linear plastic consumption with circular solutions wherever possible. As global plastic demand continues to rise year after year—despite widespread efforts to reduce consumption—we address the waste crisis through a multi-tiered approach. We champion renewable, bio-based alternatives that decouple production from fossil fuels, design materials for high-value recyclability, and offer regulatory-compliant masterbatches that accelerate microbial breakdown when exposed to biologically active end-of-life environments.
By keeping valuable resources in motion during a product’s useful life and providing predictable, data-verified pathways for recovery, BioPro Global aims to further reduce pollution and build a more resilient circular economy.
Plastics
Plastics account for over 17% of total municipal solid waste discards after recycling annually.
Styrofoam
Styrofoam Cups are 5% plastic and 95% air, which makes them light but bulky, and therefore unattractive to recycle. Americans throw away billions of them each year.
Diapers
Disposable diapers are the 3rd largest item in the municipal waste stream. It takes approximately 286 pounds of plastic to produce enough diapers for one baby for a year.
PVC Material
75 million pounds of PVC material from plastic cards enters the waste stream of the United States each year.
