I am not talking about the production process. Is it that after disposal, it will not be degraded if it is not degraded, can it be landfilled or incinerated or just leave it alone? Glass is also thrown away, why not be regarded as environmental pollution?

First, it affects agricultural development. The continuous accumulation of waste plastic products mixed in the soil will affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, resulting in reduced crop yields.

Second, it poses a threat to the survival of animals. Waste plastic products discarded on land or in water bodies are swallowed as food by animals, leading to their deaths. Last year, there were 20 herders by the Qinghai Lake, a total of nearly 1,000 sheep died as a result, and the economic loss was about 300,000 yuan. Sheep like to eat the oily residue wrapped in plastic bags, but they often eat them together with the plastic bags. Because the plastic they eat stays in the stomach for a long time and is difficult to digest, the stomachs of these sheep are packed and can no longer eat. Things can only be starved to death in the end. Such things are not uncommon in zoos, pastoral areas, rural areas, and oceans (there is a video on the Internet: a whale in the sea dies, cuts its abdomen, and sends letters with plastic bags in its stomach).

Third, landfilling waste plastics will not only occupy a large amount of land, but the occupied land will not be restored for a long time, which will affect the sustainable use of land. If the waste plastic products that enter the domestic garbage are buried, they will not be degraded for 200 years.
