Answer:

The natural fibres require raw materials from plants and animals. So they lead to cutting trees and killing of animals. Synthetic fibres are made up of chemicals and these chemicals are not available in forests. So manufacturing synthetic fibres is actually helping conservation of forests.

Question

Manufacturing plastic actually conserve our natural resources do we agree or disagree comment on these statement

Answer :

It’s estimated 10% of the 260 million tonnes of plastic the world produces each year ends up in the oceans, with the shocking scenes from the BBC’s Blue Planet 2 now firmly implanted in the minds of consumers.

But is plastic as bad for the environment as it’s perceived in the media?

Amy Hodgetts of Omega Plastics doesn’t think so, and she argues that there are several ways it has positively impacted the planet.

Plastic then and now

Prior to the 21st century, recycling was pretty low on many people’s agendas. However, thanks to a continued push to go green, we’re now more aware of the waste we produce.

In 2001, just 12.5% of household waste in England was recycled. This figure climbed to 44.9% in 2014, and rose again to 45.2% in 2016, which is drawing closer to the EU’s target of 50% by 2020 target.

The UK’s shift towards environmentally friendly living has changed our attitudes to plastic production. Nowadays, companies actively look for recyclable plastics for their products and packaging, building an impressive corporate social responsibility to set them apart from their competitors. According to the British Plastics Federation, 32% of plastic is recycled and 70% is recovered.

In the past, only certain types of plastics have been recycled. Now, as technology develops, recyclable plastics can be created, which serve the same purpose, but are more environmentally friendly.

Creating alternative uses

Packaging may be one of the main uses of plastic in the UK but, over time, we’re finding more and more uses for it. While many may argue that this increased plastic consumption has a negative effect on the environment, it can actually prove beneficial in the long term.

Improved plastic production

As we have already mentioned, improved plastic production methods have altered the impact creating plastic has on the environment. However, this isn’t just in terms of minimising waste.

conclusion

As you can see, while some may question the eco-friendly properties of plastic, it’s clear that they also offer numerous benefits when it comes to minimising waste and further damage to the environment. With increased technological advancements, plastics are set to become even more eco-friendly.
