FILM- "THE STORY OF PLASTIC" (ANIMATED SHORT)

 

Plastic recycling is often considered a solution to the problem of plastic waste, but in reality, it is a myth. Only a small fraction of plastic waste is actually recycled, and the process of recycling plastic is energy-intensive and can produce harmful pollutants. Furthermore, the quality of recycled plastic is often lower than that of virgin plastic, making it less desirable for use in new products. Plastic waste that is not recycled often ends up in landfills or in the natural environment, where it can take hundreds of years to break down and can harm wildlife and ecosystems. Therefore, it is important to reduce plastic consumption and promote alternative materials to mitigate the negative impact of plastic on the environment.
