Now the country has begun to charge for plastic bags, which is also to prevent everyone from abusing plastic bags because this thing is really harmful.
Next, analyze the hazards of plastic bags:
The recycling value of plastic bags is low. In addition to being scattered on urban streets, tourist areas, and water bodies, and causing "visual pollution" pollution on both sides of roads and railways during use, it also has potential hazards.
The plastic structure is stable, it is not easy to be degraded by natural microorganisms, and it will not separate for a long time in the natural environment.
This means that if waste plastic waste is not recycled, it will become pollutants in the environment and accumulate forever, which will cause great harm to the environment.
First, it affects agricultural development. The continuous accumulation of waste plastic products in the soil will affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, resulting in reduced crop yields.
Second, it poses a threat to animal survival. Waste plastic products discarded on land or in water bodies are swallowed by animals as food, resulting in animal death.
Third, landfilling of waste plastics will not only occupy a large amount of land but also the occupied land will not be restored for a long time, affecting the sustainable use of land.
If the waste plastic products that enter the household garbage are landfilled, they will not degrade for 200 years.
Moreover, plastic bags use petroleum as raw material, which not only consumes a lot of resources, but also cannot be decomposed, and burying them underground will pollute the land and rivers.
In addition, plastic bags themselves emit harmful gases. Especially cooked food, after being packed in plastic bags, often deteriorates. The impact of spoiled food on the healthy development of children is particularly prominent.
