The Significance of Plastic Industry 3
Introduction
Plastic production has started from 1950s and production has been over 7 billion metric
tons. There is no possibility of degradation in plastics, it will break down in micro-fragment and
the majority of it is present in existence. This will be accumulating the landfill and littering the
natural environments and polluting the oceans. With approximately 7 million plastic metric tons
entering into the ocean every year, the scientist has predicted sea will comprise of more plastic
when compared with fish by 2050. Increasing recycling, reduction in consumption and selection
of non-plastic alternatives and necessary actions of the government, businesses and
manufacturers can create the genuine transformation. There has been a huge influence for
removing the plastic in circulation.
A recent study has been taken over on how the Australians have growing concerns over
the growing number of plastic. There are no escaping plans in the modern life. In Australia, an
approximately 1.5 m tons of crude oil derivatives have been consumed every year. Reducing
the consumption through complete avoidance of disposable plastic containers and reusing
disposable bags are regarded as essential waste-reduction possibilities. What are the roles of
recycling? Despite the profligate consumption of the plastic goods, less than 300,000 tonnes
have been collected for recycling every year.
Research, Discussion and Analysis of Sustainability Related Strategies and
Issues
The use of plastics in contemporary society has been increased; this has the environmental
impacts which are associated with disposal and production. The UNEP has highlighted the eco-
