Look here, 55% of global plastic waste was discarded, 25% was incinerated, and 20% was recycled. Banning single use plastics might be a good thing don’t you think?
What is Single Use Plastic?
Single-use plastics, or disposable plastics, are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These items are things like plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles and most food packaging.
Normally people likes to use single use plastics so that their’ll be no hassle in keeping it and just throw them away. But pollution and flood starts from us throwing plastics wherever we want right? We knew that was the reason so we labelled the garbage cans and all we need to do know is to properly throw our wastes yet we still can’t do it.
As been stated by the House Bill No. 8692
“Single-use plastic products is a big contributor to pollution. Plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, water bottles, and sachets are just some of the examples of the products used by Filipinos only once and then thrown away. These materials can remain in the environment for 2,000 years or more.“
Once again I say Banning single-use plastics might be a good thing don’t you think?
