Only half of them reach the location of the Final Disposal Site. The rest is illegally burned or dumped in rivers and the sea. and The danger of microplastic waste entering the sea is turned into nanoplastics and eaten by fish in the sea. The end of the fish is eaten by humans. Plastic also breaks down very long. Plastic bags (and other types of plastic) are difficult to decompose on the ground because of their long carbon chains, making it difficult for microorganisms to decompose. Plastic bags will break down hundreds to thousands of years later

Good

Owww... awesome

plastic problem big pollution

Plastic waste is a world problem. how many tons of European countries, America, China are always imported into poor countries

Negligence is the main reason for plastic pollution from my point of view.Marine debris, also known as marine litter, is human-created waste mosty comes from land and this pollution comes from household waste which are not well recycled. Plastic pollution crisis can be cured by reducing the use of plastics,by discovering the other alternative materials to cope up with plastic materials with the same cost-effectiveness ratio. by recycling the waste properly,by avoiding products containing microbeads which are tiny plastic particles and found in face scrubs,toothpastes and bodywashes and also by creating awareness to the people.

Plastic pollution can afflict land, waterways and oceans.

Indeed,Plastic has been degrading nature steadily.

Plastic is one of the major sources of water and land pollution. Its harmful to both human and animals. The best solution to this, is proper waste disposal and management. These plastics can be gathered and recycled.
