What is the environmental impact of plastic bags on nature?

Because plastic bags are mostly non-renewable degradable materials, the plastic structure is stable, it is not easy to be degraded by natural microorganisms and will not be separated in the natural environment for a long time. It will do great harm to the land, change the pH value of the land, seriously pollute the soil, affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, lead to the reduction of agricultural production and affect the sustainable use of the land. Harmful smoke and toxic gases produced by incineration will also pollute the atmospheric environment. So now plastic bags have become the "worst invention" of mankind in the 20th century.

Plastic bags have low recycling value and will not be separated in the natural environment for a long time. This means that if the waste plastic garbage is not recycled, it will become a pollutant in the environment, permanently exist and accumulate, causing great harm to the environment.

Threaten the survival of animals

Waste plastic products discarded on land or in water are swallowed by animals as food, resulting in animal death. Such things are common in zoos, pastoral areas, rural areas and oceans.

Affect agricultural development

The accumulation of waste plastic products mixed in soil will affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, resulting in crop yield reduction.

Harmful to the land

Waste plastics will not only occupy a lot of land with landfill, but also the occupied land will not be restored for a long time, which will affect the sustainable use of land. Waste plastic products entering domestic garbage will not degrade for 200 years if they are buried. It is extremely harmful to the land.
