"Around 3% of plastic waste produced annually ends up in oceans – or about 8 million tons by the end of 2015."

2. True

Based on the first paragraph, it is stated that ' a cumulative total of 7.8 billion tons of plastic produced during this period (1950s to 2015), corresponding to more than one ton of plastic for each person alive as of the end of 2015.'

3. True

The part of the text that supports this statement is the last paragraph.

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.
