Want this question answered?
The bags are taken to landfill sites.
into groundwater eventually, then into rivers and the sea!
biogas from landfill waste has been harnessed in sites around in world
Secure chemical landfills are disposal sites for hazardous waste, selected and designed to minimize the chance of release of hazardous substances into the environment. Some features include a professional and experienced workforce and secure alarm systems.
I think it depends very much on what you mean by "better". If you mean "better" from an environmental perspective, I don't necessarily think they are. The popular view is that paper cups biodegrade, and are therefore "green", whilst plastic cups do not biodegrade and therefore litter the environment. However, plastic cups only litter the environment because people are lazy and don't dispose of them appropriately. They COULD be recycled (depending on which plastic was being used to fabricate them) if anyone was interested in doing so. Also, it is not true that paper cups (or paper anything else) readily degrades in landfill sites (which is where more waste ends up when it isn't recycled). Landfill sites are not useful for aerobic biodegredation, and paper items placed in them stay intact for literally years.
because they can cause hazards
Because they can kill plants and can be toxic
There are three (3) landfill sites in Devon :) x
it will cause pollution and it will kill under ground animals
because they take a long time to rot and decay
There are over 4000 landfill sites in the UK.
