Single use plastic is one of the most prevalent causes of pollution including environmental as well as water pollution. It has devastating impact on oceans, sea animals and hydrophytes. Therefore ban on single use plastic is very important. Governments in many countries including India has started campaign to stop using single use plastic and use environment friendly carry bags.
We produce millions of tons of single use plastic every year, most of which cannot be recycled. Single use plastic includes plastic bags, polythene, straws, plastic glass, soda and water bottles and food packaging items etc. These single use plastics are used only once and then thrown away as a garbage for recycle.
Most of the single use plastic items which are thrown away after using only once, are not recycled. They are also non biodegradable and usually goes into a landfill where it is buried or it gets into the water and after some time by various means it goes into the ocean. They enter into soil and water bodies and break down into small particles, however, they do not decompose. They remain in the soil and water for more than hundred years and release toxic chemicals and thus damaging our beautiful planet and environment. The plastic bags that enter the water bodies are a major cause of the water pollution. This is deteriorating our environment and ecology in every possible way.
