The Environmental Hazards Of Plastics

When used plastic packaging enters the environment, it is difficult to degrade, causing long-term, deep-seated ecological problems.

1, waste plastic packaging mixed with household waste is difficult to handle: landfill disposal will take up land for a long time; it is also not suitable for composting, and waste plastic packaging mixed in the soil will affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, which will lead to crop yield reduction.

2, sorted out waste plastic is also difficult to recycle because of the lack of quality assurance; if incinerated, because plastic bags are often mixed with soil and water, so it is difficult to burn through, and even cause secondary pollution of the environment.

3, waste plastic packaging abandoned on land or in water bodies is swallowed by animals as food, resulting in animal deaths.
