Every Mallorcan resident generates 600 kilos of rubbish

At least 600 kilos of rubbish is generated by each resident of Mallorca every year – and more than 70 percent of it is plastic.    On average – only 30 percent of what´s discarded is separated for recycling – and according to the Balearic Oceanographic Center of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography – none of the coastal areas sampled in Mallorca are free from the presence of macro and microplastics.
