Why is there white pollution? 10

Because of the needs of life, many people use plastic bags, because they are disposable items, but they are not degraded, causing pollution, which is "white pollution".

The question of quality, as well as people's needs. Although plastic bags are white pollution, people can't do without it, so they can only rely on people's consciousness and civilization.

Because the quality of people is much worse than good.

There are so many things that can't be degraded.

With the acceleration of people's life rhythm, social life is developing towards convenience and hygiene. In order to meet this demand, disposable styrofoam lunch boxes, plastic bags, chopsticks, water cups, etc. have begun to frequently enter people's daily lives. When you go to the market to buy vegetables, no matter whether the price of the vegetables is high or low, you don't use plastic bags.

When you go to a fast-food restaurant to eat, the waiter will always hand you a plastic lunch box. The emergence of these easy-to-use and low-cost packaging materials has brought a lot of convenience to people's lives. But on the other hand, these packaging materials are often discarded after use, causing "white pollution", forming environmental hazards and becoming a great environmental problem.

White pollution starts with plastics. Plastic is a kind of polymer materials, using petroleum as raw materials to produce ethylene, propylene, vinyl chloride, styrene, etc., the molecules of these substances can react with each other under certain conditions to form compounds with large molecular weight (i.e., polymers): polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene.

The plastic we usually use is a material composed of the above four polymers (polyethylene and polypropylene films have brittle sound when shaking, while polyvinyl chloride films are softer and have no brittle sound when shaking; Foamed plastic is generally polystyrene, which has thick smoke when burned). Since the sixties of the last century, plastics have entered the stage of widespread use. Since plastic has a lot of advantages:

It is easy to take materials, inexpensive, easy to process, and light in texture, so as soon as plastic came out, it was welcomed by the world, and it quickly penetrated into all aspects of social life, and plastic was made into bowls, cups, bags, basins, barrels, tubes, etc. Plastic is listed as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, and its popularity is known as the White Revolution.

As the production of plastics continues to increase and the cost is getting lower and lower, a large number of agricultural films, plastic bags for packaging and disposable plastic cutlery that we use are discarded in the environment after use, bringing great damage to the landscape and the environment. Since plastic packaging is mostly white, the environmental pollution they cause is known as white pollution.

Because because of the use of too much plastic, white garbage is generated.

The so-called "white pollution" is a figurative term for the phenomenon of waste plastics polluting the environment. In nature, there are almost no microorganisms that can use plastic as nutrients. Plastic waste stays in nature for a long time, even up to 500 years.

Plastic bags are difficult to solve, and it takes hundreds of thousands to solve, but every time the plastic is produced, it is more and more.
