Waste plastic bags

Harm of plastic waste

Meanwhile, people always have the habit of throwing away used plastic bags into the environment, which itself is persistent waste, which can survive for decades without decomposing. Therefore, if nylon waste is not collected and treated, the environment will be overloaded, change the nature of the soil environment, obstruct water sources, destroy ecosystems, threaten human health ...

A number of measures to handle plastic waste are being applied

Before seeking to handle plastic waste, each individual needs to act voluntarily by abandoning the habit of using plastic bags, actively collecting waste, absolutely not discarding indiscriminately. A small action, but it will help us minimize the amount of plastic waste generated, deciding the most efficient treatment of plastic waste.

Currently, there are many measures to handle plastic waste such as burial, incineration, pyrolysis, etc. However, if these methods are not strictly controlled, it still has many potential risks to the environment.

In the UK, an engineer has recycled plastic waste into a new material to make roads, and as a result, its quality is superior to a 10-year lifespan compared to conventional asphalt.

In Vietnam, there are currently also plans to handle plastic waste in general and to treat plastic bags in particular into construction materials, which is a good signal to help solve the problem of plastic waste. effectively, towards building a green, clean and beautiful living environment.
