substances." As we become more technologically advanced‚ we produce materials that can withstand extreme temperatures‚ are durable and easy to use. Plastic bags‚ synthetics‚ plastic bottles‚ tin cans‚ and computer hardware- these are some of the things that make life easy for us. But what we forget is that these advanced products do not break down naturally. Plastic bags are difficult and costly to recycle and most end up on landfill sites where they take around 300 years to photo degrade. They break down

Plastics are synthetic substances produced by chemical reactions. Almost all plastics are made from petroleum‚ except a few experimental resins derived from corn and other organic substances. "Plastics" derived their name from their properties to be molded‚ cast‚ extruded or processed into a variety of forms‚ including solid objects‚ films and filaments. These properties arise from their molecular structure. Plastics are polymers‚ very long chain molecules that consist of subunits (monomers) linked
