Plastics are an integral part of people’s lives and are used for a wide range of applications. However, once they are no longer useful they can cause serious harm to the environment when disposed of improperly. Plastics can contaminate air, water and soil with their chemical composition that is toxic to the environment. Therefore, their disposal has to be done carefully and under proper waste management techniques. Plastic waste is non-biodegradable and can persist in the natural environment for hundreds of years, resulting in numerous environmental impacts. It is also a significant source of human health hazards. Many diseases can be caused by plastics, especially when ingested or inhaled.
