Solution
- Plastics do not decompose by natural processes and action of bacteria and are therefore not biodegradable.
- A lot of the plastic produced globally is designed to be used only once and thrown away, creating a large amount of plastic waste.
- Plastic waste ends up being recycled, incinerated, landfilled, dumped or ends up littering our environment.
- So, it is better to avoid the use of plastic products.
