The recent rates of plastic emission globally may trigger effects that we will not be able to reverse, the team
of international facts that published their study in the Science and its journal report. The study finds that plastic pollution has reached its tipping point, that’s quite lethal for the planet. A recent study of the researchers argues that plastics are “irreversible” and it’s pollutants degrade very slowly. Furthermore, the global plastic rate of recycling is taking place at very less than requisite rates.
The fact of denying the storage of persistent plastic pollution in the environment could be dangerous for the environment and The requisite thing to do is to act as much rapidly as we can to reduce the enormous existence of plastic in the environment.
Plastic could affect the food sources
The upstream of the concentrations of plastic could affect the food sources or access to the sunlight of marine organisms like cyanobacteria and phytoplankton, which, despite being tiny, soak up a significant amount of carbon. If their ability to sequester carbon is limited, that carbon would instead linger in the atmosphere and contribute towards global warming.
“Most of the people and citizens believe that when the consumers properly apart the plastic trash, all of it will automatically be recycled. Technologically, recycling of plastic has many challenges and countries that have good
Ways of technologies that have been exporting all plastic waste to countries with worse facilities, like capping the accumulation of virgin plastic to increase the value of recycled plastic, and banning the export of plastic waste, until it is to a country with better recycling.
Recycling plastic
However, the world has to live without plastic, though this might be difficult at first, things will get managed, gradually. The agenda to reduce the use of plastic menace must include ending single-use plastics, promoting alternatives to fossil fuel-based materials, promoting 100 % recycling of plastics, corporate and government accountability, and changing human behavior concerning plastics.
