After plastic is thrown away, it typically ends up in landfills, where it can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose. Some plastics may be incinerated, releasing pollutants into the atmosphere. A portion is also recycled, where it can be processed and repurposed into new products, but many recyclable plastics are not effectively collected or processed. Ultimately, a significant amount of plastic contributes to environmental pollution, particularly in oceans and waterways.
