Answer 2

Plastics can be discouraged because;

1. They are often made from a finite resource such as oil.

2. Manufacturing requires energy & processes can be toxic.

3. With so many types, it can be difficult to identify, sort, collect & process in meaningful economic quantities for recycling. So often end up for ever, never breaking down in landfill sites.
