How are biodegradable plastics made and what are the problems with them?
- Some plastics made from starch are biodegradable- Another bio-oxodegradable plastics contain a catalyst ( as iron oxide) which improve the degradation in contact with oxygen.Generally biodegradable plastics are as foils not containers.
What are the problems with disposing of waste plastics in landfill sites?
Disposing of waste plastics in landfill sites presents several problems, including long decomposition times that can stretch from hundreds to thousands of years, leading to persistent environmental pollution. Plastics can leach harmful chemicals into the soil and groundwater, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. Additionally, landfill space is limited, and as plastic waste accumulates, it contributes to the growing waste crisis, exacerbating climate change through methane emissions from organic waste decomposing in the same sites. Finally, the visual and physical presence of plastics in landfills can detract from land use and contribute to landscape degradation.
What are the ways that would balance usefulness and problems of plastics?
because plastics are more important

Avoid plastic as far as possible. comment on this statement?
Ans: Plastics are non-biodegradable materials. They take several years to decompose. It is not environment friendly and causes environment pollution. Also burning process of plastics is quite slow. In the process of burning it releases lots of poisonous gas into the atmosphere causing air pollution. Some plastics can't be recycled and so, it is very difficult to finally dispose off such materials. Polythene bags, carelessly thrown in an eating garbage can cause death for the animals like - cows, dogs etc or sometimes even become a cause for clogging of the drains. The only solution to get rid of these problems is to reduce the use of plastics. There lies the justification for saying that 'Avoid plastics as far as possible'. Hi,Sangeetha,does this help u??
Why do liquids and gases cause problems on landfill sites?
Because they can kill plants and can be toxic
What are the main problems when plastics are burned in landfill sites?
Plastic is not digestible. So creatures will wind up eating it, but they can't digest it. The elements from which it is made will not be usable by the ecology. This is a bigger problem in the oceans than it is in landfills. Plastic breaks down eventually, into small particles, but those particles remain indigestible. This is bad for the ecosystem.
