What are the environmental problems with plastics?
They are non organic substances and hence the various microorganisms that decay matter can not act upon the plastics and hence the do not decay in nature. They pollute the environment. In other words they do not rot. When kept in landfills they still are bad for the environment because of this and as most of our waste ends up in landfills they take a lot of space. Burning them will also create pollution releasing toxic gases.
