    The advent of the “Age of Plastic” in the 1950s brought about a change in the ocean of construction technology. Industries began to produce a wide range of plastics from petroleum construction making them a feature of all construction assemblies.

    Plastic & by-products have long found its use in almost every corner of modern life – from toys to storage containers, from cars to electronics and much more. Because of its light weight, strength, durability and versatility, it is widely used in the electronics, sports and manufacturing industries, in the home. Products made of non-perishable plastic add comfort and ease of use in everyday life.

    However, plastic waste does not degrade over time and has a long-lasting impact on both humans and the environment in many ways. Their decay involves the use of heat or fire, which in turn produces huge amounts of waste, toxic fumes, and lasts for years. Other non-perishable products include polyethylene, rayon, nylon, lexan, polyester, PVC (Ploy Vinyl Chloride) and carbon fiber.

    A Time to Live for Incorruptible Things

    We want to make sure that we leave some things for our children and grandchildren after our departure. These items may include assets that you will receive as an inheritance or a set amount.

    However, we are unintentionally planning a dangerous legacy of plastic waste that will play badly with future generations for centuries to come.

    Yes, discarded plastic products we use every day can take more than 400 years to decompose. Durable plastic items such as bottles, disposable diapers and beer containers can take up to 450 years to make biodegrade. Reducing the use of waste products and taking longer to landfills to completely decompose is important. However, one of the most effective alternatives is to switch to decay materials to save Mother Earth from the increasing natural disasters.

    Water and Food Pollution:

    Prolonged exposure to synthetic materials in air, water, and sunlight results in the release of highly toxic pollutants that can be absorbed into the water. In addition, these plastics eventually oxidize and release toxic copper salts that pollute the earth and enter the food chain.

    These carcinogenic toxins can cause serious damage to biological changes after absorption. Their use can kill even a large number of species including Homo sapiens.

    Air pollution:

    Frequent exposure to plastic heat dissolves what leads to the release of gases into the atmosphere through a process known as energy output. The heat of the plastic causes the toxic fumes to be released into the atmosphere. Inhaling this polluted air causes various types of illnesses such as tuberculosis and other respiratory infections.

    So dumping them to reduce waste is not an option.

    Once we see the damage to non-perishable products on our planet, we need to find a smart solution to deal with these problems. Blocking the production and use of such items is not possible. However, other ways can be done to help the planet. Replacing standard plastics with friendly cousins ​​is the best option. To find out the benefits of fixed plastics visit the link.
