Plastic is either a) thrown out and buried in a landfill or b) recycled by sorting based on resin identification code which is a method of categorizing polymer types then broken down by a variety of methods such as heat compression.
When plastic is recycled, it is processed and transformed into new products or materials instead of being discarded. This allows for the conservation of resources, reduction in waste, and decreased environmental impact compared to virgin plastic production. Recycled plastic also helps to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic manufacturing.
It is estimated that only 6% of plastic water bottles are actually recycled instead of being put in landfills. In 2012 a census found that 33.6 million plastic water bottles ended up in landfills and 2 million were recycled.
Boats made from plastic bottles are constructed by collecting and cleaning the bottles, then attaching them together to form a sturdy structure. The bottles are often filled with foam or air for buoyancy. These boats help reduce plastic waste in the environment by repurposing discarded bottles. They also raise awareness about plastic pollution and promote recycling.
Plastic bags are made from oil, which is a non-renewable resourceMany plastic bags end up in the oceans, where they threaten the lives of marine animals. Turtles and fish swallow the floating bags, mistaking them for jellyfish.Plastic shopping bags are designed to be used once, and then discarded. This is unsustainable.
You can upcycle items such as old clothing, furniture, glass bottles, plastic containers, and wooden pallets. These items can be repurposed into new and useful products instead of being discarded as waste.
Too much we need to stop this immediatly!
It Should be Discarded into the nearest red plastic lined trash.. :)
Plastic has 2 main issues, the first is that since it's made from petroleum we will eventualy run out and the second is that once plastic is discarded it never breaks down causing unnecessary pollution.
The manufacture of plastic requires oil in its production, which is a dwindling resource. Plastic takes almost forever to degrade and so landfill increases. On a smaller point discarded plastic materials effect wildlife as they are sometimes digested, causing harm.

Household garbage includes food scraps, plastic items, bottles, discarded papers, etc.
Mors bags are bags made from otherwise discarded fabric- curtains, bedcovers, old clothes etc. sewn into useable shopping bags and then distributed free to shoppers. A community project to help save wildlife especially from the effects of discarded plastic bags which takes years to degrade and are a choke hazard as they break down into small pieces. Raising awareness of the problem of discarded plastic bags and a practical solution to encourage shoppers to bring their own reuseable bags when shopping www.morsbags.com
