Plastics are not biodegradable but a number of countries keep producing plastic without any appropriate plan to get rid of plastics and just dump out waste, causing contamination of the ecosystem. The definition of ‘biodegradable’ is an ability to be decomposed by living organisms such as fungi and bacteria. If a material is non-biodegradable, it remains and may pollute an environment. Plastic is one of the most known, used non-biodegradable materials. Many scientists have tried to find a way to decompose plastics completely and have ‘almost’ found a way by incorporating them with organic compounds but plastic itself at a molecular level still remains in the environment (“Biodegradable Substances” 553). In a landfill, plastics may have multiple negative effects on soil, such as blocking waterways and causing environmental pollution, especially when plastics are not filtered in composts (Esan, Ebenezer Oluwaseun, et al e0214376). By 2015, roughly 6300 metric tons, which is equivalent to 14,000,000 pounds, of plastics have been made and only nine percent was recycled, twelve percent was burned and the rest of it is predicted to be in landfills or in a nature (Geyer, Roland, et al). Now, the size and mass of plastic rubbish floating in the Pacific Ocean is approximately the same size of Mongolia. Additionally, the World Economic Forum has predicted that the amount of plastic waste would outweigh the amount of fish in the ocean by 2050 (“Plastic waste”). As series of evidence has shown, the amount of plastic waste is difficult to overlook and will stack up quickly without proper plans to remove plastics. If littering of plastic continues, the earth will be completely covered with plastic waste.
