Plastics: the big environmental problem of our time

With the current pollution of the planet, some of the materials and substances that cause this pollution have become evident.Plastics are one of those products that, in recent years, have increasingly polluted the environment in a significant way, due to the great difficulty in being absorbed by the soil and the difficulties in being able to be reused.Our lives are surrounded by plastics and we are increasingly dependent on articles made with this material, which makes it very difficult for us to do without them.This work addresses the great problem that plastics currently represent and, at the end of it, some proposals are presented to modify our way of life, that is, to try to live without so many plastics.

Abstract

With the current pollution of the planet, some of the materials and substances that cause this pollution have become evident.Plastics are one of those products that, in recent years, have increasingly polluted the environment in a significant way, due to the great difficulty in being absorbed by the soil and the difficulties in being able to be reused.Our lives are surrounded by plastics and we are increasingly dependent on articles made with this material, which makes it very difficult for us to do without them.This work addresses the great problem that plastics currently represent and, at the end of it, some proposals are presented to modify our way of life, that is, to try to live without so many plastics.
