Plastic causes serious damage to environment during its production process and during its disposal process when plastics are burnt, these will release some toxic gases with which the air will get polluted. in the mean while it will take very long time to burn and elucidates much poisonous. Plastic wastes clog the drains and thus hit especially urban sewage systems. The plastic wastes being dumped into rivers, streams and sea contaminate the water, soil, marine life and also the air we breathe. Choked drains provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes besides causing flooding during the monsoon. Since plastic does not undergo bacterial decomposition, landfilling using plastic would mean preserving the poison forever.
