Plastic Planet

Plastic products are everywhere in the world.

 

「 Plastic Pollution 」

Not easy to be degraded.
The natural degradation cycle takes two to three hundred years, which is extremely harmful to the environment and the biosphere.

Land Pollution

• Pollute Soil

1. Change soil pH.
2. Occupy land space.
3. Affect plant uptake of nutrients and water.

• Pollute Water

1. Animals eat by mistake, causing death.
2. Landfill plastic waste，harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses in the garbage will seep out and pollute the groundwater

• Pollute Air

          Plastic waste incineration,Dioxin, hydrogen chloride and other harmful gases will be produced, polluting the air and endangering human health.

Ocean Pollution

1. About 8 million tons of large plastics and 15,000 tons of primary microplastics enter the ocean every year.There are few unpolluted "clean lands" in the ocean.
2. Microplastics are usually smaller than 5 mm and are often eaten by marine organisms, disrupting the ecological balance of the ocean.
3. Chemicals in plastics can be passed to humans through the food chain.
   Enter the human food chain through seafood.
   Microplastics can be ingested from water, mixed into the air and inhaled by humans,or through skin contact.

• Microplastics have even been found in the placentas of newborns.
