Question
Why is it better to avoid the use of plastic products?
Answer in Brief

- Plastics do not decompose by natural processes and action of bacteria and are therefore not biodegradable.

- Plastic waste ends up being recycled, incinerated, landfilled, dumped or ends up littering our environment.
- So, it is better to avoid the use of plastic products.
