1. Plastic pollution: Plastics take hundreds of years to decompose, leading to extensive pollution in the environment. They are often not properly disposed of and end up in landfills, waterways, and oceans, where they harm marine life and disrupt ecosystems. 2. Chemical pollution: Plastics contain harmful chemicals that can leach into the environment, contaminating soil, water, and air. These chemicals can have detrimental effects on human health and wildlife. 3. Habitat destruction: Plastic waste can smother plants and aquatic life, destroying habitats and disrupting the balance of ecosystems.
