In the United States alone, 550 million empty shampoo bottles are thrown away every year, enough to fill 1,164 football fields. This number does not include conditioner, body wash or other bathing products – only shampoo bottles.<\/h1>\n

In the United Kingdom, meanwhile, there are 520 million plastic bottles. Consumed worldwide every year 1,4 milijard\u00a0<\/a>disposable body wash bottles. This number is based on an average of 6 bottles of body wash per year, excluding shampoo or conditioner bottles.<\/p>\n

As the world\u2019s population grows (the number of people on the planet is projected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030), these numbers will also only increase.
2016 Euromonitor census data show that only 50% of all plastic bottles are collected for recycling and only 7% of those bottles are actually recycled into new bottles. While we feel much better throwing something in a sorting container rather than in the trash, the sad reality is that these products often end up in the same place.<\/p>\n
