This document discusses plastics in landfills and oceans. Plastics are made into long polymer chains to form items like pallets. Hundreds of millions of tons of plastic end up in landfills and oceans each year. In landfills, plastics and other trash combine to form a hazardous leachate as plastics can take up to 1,000 years to degrade. Large areas of ocean currents circulate plastic in massive garbage patches that are harmful to wildlife.
