Plastic is everywhere in our daily life. Useful, cheap and very convenient. This material is used in all sectors of activity. For several years, the major problem we have to face is that this material is used by man without end and without limit then gradually destroying the environment in which we live.
According to Greenpeace.com “Plastic is incredibly versatile and long-lasting, finding its way into every corner of our lives. But the very qualities that make plastic so useful also make it a huge problem. Cheap and disposable plastic has been a symbol of our throwaway culture. As a result, vast quantities pollute our world. Much of it flows into the oceans, turning them into a plastic soup. A truckload of plastic enters the ocean every single minute and UK supermarkets produce 800,000 tones every year. With production increasing, that’s set to rise.”
“To halt the decline of an ecosystem, it is necessary to think like an ecosystem.”
