The use of plastic is not a problem; the problem is where we should apply it. I think we should eliminate single-use plastics, such as plastic bags, lunch boxes, etc. The demand for these things is too great, and they are difficult to degrade and cause a lot of harm to the environment. We should take advantage of their advantages to benefit society and reduce the damage caused by their use.
I envision a world where plastic products are used wisely. In this world, people will stop using disposable plastic products, and the government will control the manufacture and specification of plastic products. Strict policies are adopted to prevent and reduce the environmental hazards of these products.
Disposable plastic is a huge hazard to the environment, and I found by reviewing some data that less than 10% of plastic waste was actually recycled in 2019, and alternatives such as biodegradable plastic are a good idea.
