also has a deleterious impact on the environment

its durability, which means it long lasts.
 A single plastic material can take up to 1000 years to
decay completely. The plastics that we are using last
long for decades begin to release toxic scraps of
polyethylene film into the surrounding soil.
 Degradation of plastic begins with photo degradation
which leads to thermo-oxidative degradation.
 Photo degradation is a very slow and toxic process,
which breaks plastic materials into toxic components
that contaminate both soil and water.
