 Plastic plays the villain right from the stage of its production. The major
chemicals that go into the making of plastic are highly toxic and pose serious threat to living beings of all species on earth.
Some of the constituents of plastic such as benzene are known to cause

cancer. Plastic resins themselves are flammable and have contributed considerably to several accidents worldwide.

CONTI

Once plastic is produced, the harm is done once and for all. Plastic defies any kind of attempt at disposal be it through recycling, burning, or land filling.

When you recycle a hazard, you create a hazard.

MEASURES
Start reducing the use of plastic bags.
use substitutes, i.e. paper bags or cloth bags Recycling the plastics
