Answer:

With the plastic ban being imposed across-the-board, including in some Indian states, it certainly becomes essential for individuals to re-evaluate plastic usage in their lives.

It is now a universally accepted fact that single-use plastic is antithetical to sustainable living and needs to be eliminated sooner or later. Single-use plastics, or disposable plastics, are used only once before they are thrown away (or, if we’re lucky, recycled). These include items like plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles, and most food packaging.

Rigorous implementation of the plastic ban can be seen in Bangalore and some other metropolitan cities. In Bangalore, there is an on-the-spot fine of ₹500 if you carry a plastic bag—even if you are reusing your own plastic bag. Now, keeping cynicism aside, I admire these well thought out efforts of the city administration and I believe they’re going in the right direction. I also accept the fact that plastic has to be phased out in order to make sustainable living a reality. However, the way we are eliminating plastic with an outright ban requires thorough analysis and an overall deliberative debate on the issue.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Single-use plastics, or disposable plastics, are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These items are things like plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles and most food packaging.

We produce roughly 300 million tons of plastic each year and half of it is disposable! World-wide only 10-13% of plastic items are recycled. The nature of petroleum based disposable plastic makes it difficult to recycle and they have to add new virgin materials and chemicals to it to do so. Additionally there are a limited number of items that recycled plastic can be used.

Petroleum based plastic is not biodegradable and usually goes into a landfill where it is buried or it gets into the water and finds it’s way into the ocean. Although plastic will not biodegrade (decompose into natural substance like soil,) it will degrade (break down) into tiny particles after many years. In the process of breaking down, it releases toxic chemicals (additives that were used to shape and harden the plastic) which make their way into our food and water supply.

These toxic chemicals are now being found in our bloodstream and the latest research has found them to disrupt the Endocrine system which can cause cancer, infertility, birth defects, impaired immunity and many other ailments.

We produce hundreds of millions of tons of plastic every year, most of which cannot be recycled. It’s obvious that we need to use less plastic, move towards environmentally sustainable products and services and come up with technology that recycles plastic more efficiently.
