and
RE-USE OF
AVAILABLE PLASTICs

2.  What is plastic ?
Plastic is made by polymerizing molecules of
monomer materials derived from coal, petroleum
or natural gas.
 The first known man made plastic –
introduced in 1862
at the Great international exhibition in London
by Alexander Parkes.

4.  Light in weight
 Cheap to produce
 Plastics are poor conductors of heat which makes them
suitable for making handles of cooking vessels
 They are insoluble in water
 Possess good thermal and electrical insulating property
 Plastic is unbreakable
 Plastic bottles can be reused and restored over again
and again
 Plastic is used for building , construction , electronics ,
packaging and transportation industries
 Plastic is used to make pens , water bottles , bags etc.

5.  Cause of environmental pollution
 It is not bio degradable
 Killing wildlife
 Harmful to human health
 Not easy to recycle
 High costs for cleanup

6.  When plastics are burned, they produce toxic gases
and smoke
 Most plastic wastes littering the roadsides cause
disease causing microorganisms
 Plastics dumped in water bodies pose a threat to
aquatic life
 The toxic substances present in plastics which are
dumped in water bodies can cause reproductive
failure in aquatic organisms
 Plastics prevent the rainwater from seeping into the
ground

9.  Charge extra
 Introduce taxes
 Educate : use of alternatives

10.  Cut disposable plastics of our routine
 Recycle
 Take responsibilty
 Clean up our reachable places
 Start using green bags instead of plastic bags

11.  Plastic wastes are used for construction of
roads
 Utilization of waste plastic in manufacturing
of brick
 Plastic bottles and containers can be used for
gardening purposes

14.  Plastics bags affect environment and animals
 It takes 300-500 year for degrade
 It affect on human health and cause cancer like
disease
 Release toxins into the ground water from landfill
sites
 Wastes money and energy during manufacturing
process
 So, as possible we should reduce use of plastic and
recycle into other material like dress, biofuel
chemical, so that we can maintain our earth clean
and plastic free
