Part 2. Solve the exercises (10%)

Instructions: For the following topic, write a research question, a general objective, specific
objectives, and a hypothesis.

Topic Use of plastic during the Pandemic and its effect over the World.

1. Research question:
The major plastics consumers during pandemic and effects of usage.

2. General Objective:
Base the effects of usinf plastics in oandemic

3. Specific Objectives (at least 2):

Examine the bad usage of plastic and its consequences
Establish and indicate the correct usage of plastics, discarding negative effects

4. Hypothesis:
Plastics usage causes harm to humans, animals and plants through toxic pollutants. It can
take hundreds or even thousands of years for plastic to break down so the environmental
damage is long-lasting.

Instructions: Create a conceptual map about your research topic. You can use any virtual tool.
Once finished paste it down below. (10%)
Instructions: Create a theoretical framework based on the topic given before, you can make
citations, and then write your own thoughts about it. (10%)

Plastic products have played significant roles in protecting people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The widespread use of personal protective gear created a massive disruption in the supply chain
and waste disposal system.

Covid 19are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more
severe disease.

Single-use plastics, are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled.

Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and
microbeads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and
humans. Plastic pollution can afflict land, waterways and oceans.

The COVID19 pandemic is having immense effects on societies across the world. It has caused
millions of deaths worldwide and challenged our health systems and economies. Published 22 Jun
2021 Miguel Juan. It’s incredible how pandemic came to make big changes in th entire world
involving every single aspect, in those aspect environment is affected in way that sanitizers
damage the whole environment and flora fauna is damage

Imports and production of face masks and gloves have increased in the EU.

Production of the EU plastic packaging industry decreased more rapidly during the first months of
COVID-19 due to the slowdown in our economies.

The increase in e-commerce during lockdowns is likely to have increased the volume of plastics
used in e-commerce packaging in the EU.

Restaurants have shifted to take-away and food deliveries during lockdowns, increasing the use of
single-use plastic food containers. At the same time, lockdowns may have reduced overall sales of
on-the-go snacks, food and drinks, reducing the need for plastic for that purpose.

The responses to COVID-19 have resulted in increased use of products such as masks, gloves and
certain types of packaging made from long-lasting single-use plastics, causing additional
greenhouse gas and other emissions. Some of these materials end up littering land and marine
environments across Europe, potentially harming ecosystems and animals.

Increased use of single-use face masks and gloves during the COVID-19 pandemic has
environmental and climate impacts. These relate to resource extraction, production, transport,
waste handling and littering. Impacts during the production stage mainly arise in exporting
countries outside Europe, whereas those related to waste and littering arise in Europe.

The production of the EU plastic packaging industry has been gradually decreasing since 2017.
During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, production decreased more rapidly
than in previous months This reduction amounted to approximately 227 000 tons of plastic
packaging from April to October 2020 (i.e. the shaded area in Figure 3 representing plastic
packaging production in EU-27 beyond business-as-usual levels). By October 2020, production had
returned to business-as-usual levels.
