What is the impact of plastic products on the environment?

1, non-degradable plastics refer to plastic products that are difficult to decompose and rot by themselves in natural environments such as soil. This kind of plastic will exist in the natural environment such as soil for a long time, destroying the soil ecosystem and causing long-term pollution to the environment.

2. Whether the plastic bag can be degraded is related to its plastic material, and has nothing to do with its thickness. As for why ultra-thin plastic bags should be banned, it is because these plastic bags are very light, cannot be recycled, fly with the wind or drift with water everywhere, and will not degrade and rot for 200 years, which poses the greatest threat to the environment. Therefore, the "plastic ban" begins with ultra-thin plastic bags.

3. Degradable plastic bags are made by adding degradable substances such as starch or plant fiber, or using degradable biological materials. In the natural environment, they will naturally rot and degrade into organic or inorganic substances in the soil under the multiple effects of rain and organisms, and the damage to the environment is much less. It still has a certain impact on the environment, but it is already "environmentally friendly" for non-degradable plastics.
