Kunci Jawaban Bahasa Inggris Kelas 11 Halaman 69-71 Kurikulum Merdeka, Activity 7: Jigsaw Reading

As of the end of 2015, a staggering 55 persen  of all plastic products end up in landills. This corresponds to about 4600 million tons of accumulated plastic waste over the years. About 700 million tons of plastic waste has been incinerated and about 2500 million tons remain in active use.

Of the entire volume of plastics that have been produced since the 1950s, only 500 million tons  (roughly 6 % ) have been recycled. Of this portion, only 100 million tons remain in active use. The other 400 million tons have also ended up either getting discarded  in landills or incinerated. Around 3 %  of plastic waste produced annually ends up in oceans – or about 8 million tons by the end of 2015.

By use, packaging of goods constitutes the greatest volume of usage of plastic products at around 141 million tons. The next category has a volume of less than half – the building and construction industry at only 65 million tons. This emphasizes how heavy plastic production can be reduced by using non-plastic alternatives for product packaging. Looking at the plastic production rates per country, China leads the pack by a huge margin at around 60 million tons. The US comes in at second at 38 million tons.

Now state whether the statement is true or false, and show which part of the text supports the statement.
