Twenty companies produce 55% of world’s plastic waste, that's the finding by The Plastic Waste Makers Index. The study names the companies that are at the forefront of the plastic supply chain and manufacture polymers, known as the building block of plastics. Here are the top 3 pollutants and how much they add to the global plastic waste.
Mukesh Ambani backed Reliance Industries is in the top 10 pollutants at Rank #8 adding 3.9 million metric tons to the global plastic waste. State backed GAIL(#34), IOC(#43)and ONGC(#46) also find themselves in the top plastic pollutants.
