1. Pollution of oceans and land: Large amounts of plastic waste enter the ocean and land, destroying ecosystems and affecting the health of marine life and wildlife.
2. Damage to ecological balance: Plastic waste has a negative impact on ecological balance, affecting the food chain and biodiversity.
3. Toxic substance release:Plastic releases toxic substances during the decomposition process, which has adverse effects on soil and water quality and threatens human health.
4. Waste of resources:Manufacturing and processing plastics requires a large amount of non-renewable resources such as petroleum, leading to resource waste and environmental damage.
5. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Greenhouse gases are released during the production and processing of plastics, exacerbating the problem of climate change.
Taken together, reducing plastic use and promoting recycling and recycling are key measures to alleviate these problems.
