Plastics are made from fossil fuels, finite and environmentally damaging resources. Post-World War II, plastic production took on a new form, replacing product manufacture prior to it in a revolutionary way. Plastics allowed us to develop more efficient machinery, advanced medical practices and travel and helped in the fight for providing clean drinking water. However, there are many problems with plastic, with the main issue being its non-biodegradable nature (some plastics can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade). Single-use plastics are, therefore, a big problem. Single-use plastics are essentially plastic products that are made from fossil fuel-based chemicals, like petrochemicals, that are meant to be used once and disposed of right after. Bottles, straws and shopping bags are all single-use plastics. So, what happens is, single-use plastics are produced and used in mass, around the world, every day. This, hand in hand with improper disposal (non-recycling) and littering, produce plastic pollution on a global scale. 1. Plastics are made from environmentally-friendly resources. 2. Plastics help to develop advanced medical practices and provide clean drinking water. 3. The main issue of plastic is that it takes very long time to biodegrade. 4. Bottles, straws and shopping bags are made from fossil fuel-based chemicals. 5. Bottles, straws and shopping bags aren’t meant to be used once. 6. Improper disposal of single-use plastics is the only cause of plastic pollution. |
