Plastics are synthetic or organic materials capable of being molded into various shapes, derived from the Greek word 'plastikos'. The document discusses the types of plastics, their uses, and the significant issue of plastic waste, highlighting that India generates 5.6 million metric tons of plastic waste annually with a recycling rate of about 60 percent. It emphasizes the importance of reducing plastic usage to protect the environment and promote sustainability.

4.  Plastics are indestructible compounds ,
even when they are melted, the
compound gas that is given off is very
harmful to our health and environment
and weakens the ozone.
 Synthetic Plastics are non-degradable in nature

5. TYPES OF PLASTICS IN DAILY LIFE..
Types of Plastics Uses

6. • INDIA GENERATES 5.6 MILLION METRIC TONS OF PLASTIC WASTE ANNUALLY,
WITH DELHI GENERATING THE MOST OF AT MUNICIPALITY AT 689.5 METRIC
TONS EVERY DAY, ACCORDING TO A REPORT FROM THE CENTRAL POLLUTION
CONTROL BOARD (CPCB).
ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL — OR 9,205 METRIC TONS PER DAY — IS
RECYCLED.
