Plastics due to their advantages over other materials are widely used in our every day life. These are non-biodegradable i.e. cannot be degraded by microorganisms which creates problems in their disposal. Plastics get accumulated and cause damage to the environment.
Burning of plastics produces poisonous gases causing air pollution.
Reducing the usage of plastics and recycling plastic objects are two ways of countering the harmful effects associated with plastic disposal.
