Plastic

Plastic has become a staple, and the use of plastic products is abundant in everyday life even if it is not apparent. The production and use of plastics has increased dramatically over the last sixty years, and a vast majority of plastic being produced is not recovered after it is used. It is clear that much of what we have today would not be possible without plastics, but the fact that it is not biodegradable and toxic creates a product that just takes up a vast amount of space and poisons animals

Plastic Pollution Outline Thesis Statement: Plastic pollution is an ongoing issue that is quickly growing as time passes by, and if humans don’t try to put an end to it, it will affect them in the long term. It is a serious issue that needs to be addressed because it is affecting humans, animals, and the environment. Plastic pollution affects humans even if they don’t realize it. Plastic pollution harms people’s endocrine system. Chemicals like BPA and phthalates causes development problems.

Another approach to plastic recycling is to actively collect plastic from a large region, and to either recycle or resell the scrap. Vikoz Enterprises Inc. sends collection and transport vehicles to plants and areas across the U.S. and Canada. Because of their active effort to collect plastic, Vikoz is the largest plastic recycler in the U.S. and Canada (12) Biggest types of recycled plastic There are 7 standard recycling codes for plastic, shown with a triangular ‘chasing arrow’ symbol with a

PLASTIC MATERIAL PIPES: The appearance of plastic in the field of construction, as in other areas of daily life, has been a real revolution for the materials used by the vast majority of professionals. Their lightness allows them to be handled by a single person, in most cases, with the consequent saving of time and money that this means in most processes. In addition, its properties are really good when we want to use a plastic tube for the conduction of a fluid through it. These pipes can be used

The film Plastic Planet takes an in- depth look of our modern world and it’s major production and consumption of plastic. Released in the year 2010, director Werner Boote reminisces on the time spent with his most memorable childhood figure, his grandfather. Whose fascination at the time was focused toward the production of plastic and what it held for the future to come. This fascination carried on into Boote’s adult life and after considerable research formed from around the world spurred him to

the harmful impacts of plastic pollution in the oceans. Over the years, plastic pollution has emerged as a serious threat to marine life. This visual combines skilfull use of color and persuasive text for the purpose of encouraging plastic waste reduction. When looking at the visual, the viewer is immediately drawn to the plastic sushi rolls. The use of the plastic sushi emphasizes that plastic pollution affects the food we consume. This urges consumers to help reduce plastic waste in order to prevent

Americans use over 500 million plastic straws every single day—that’s enough to circle the earth’s circumference 2.5 times (Ives et al 2017). By 2050, there will be more plastic debris in the ocean than fish (Kaplan 2016). These staggering statistics are unacceptable and it is our duty to find a realistic, sustainable solution to the issue. Plastic pollution is one of today’s most pressing problems, and minimizing the use of straws is a feasible and realistic step in the right direction. Although

Introduction Plastic in its various forms is the most useful but cheap invention that mankind has ever made . Having widespread applications from industries to minute household stuff, its utility cannot be expressed in a few sentences. But, at the same time, plastics possess a property which makes nature quite vulnerable to their misuse. This property namely is NON-BIODEGRADABILITY. By closely observing the structure of plastic, we come to know that plastic is made of extremely strong carbon-carbon

finding four kilograms of plastic bags in every part of its stomach. The internal damage caused by the bags included an inflamed stomach and intestinal walls (“Plastic Bags Found”). Tragically, this is not the only story of plastic bags harming wildlife. Another story like this occurred less than two months later. Wildlife is suffering daily because plastic bags are interfering with their habitat. Because they are harmful to the environment, plastic bags should be banned. Plastic bags cannot be recycled

Plastic bags tend to disrupt the environment in a significant but humans are mainly to blame for this. We as humans do not see the destruction that we caused to the environment every time we toss plastic bags onto the bare streets. The plastic bags that we throw away and are not being recycled tend to end up in the oceans or landfills where poor animals happen to eat them. Charging ten cents for plastic bags to decrease CO2 emissions and environmental waste can in fact help the planet by helping
