Emissions from all
Belgium’s passenger
cars in 1 year
125M oil barrels consumed
14M people using
electricity, gas, steam & air conditioning in 1 year
50% less GHG emissions from the Belgian transport sector in 1 year
Diverting millions of resources
from landfills
Plastic recycling advances the green transition.
