Around the world, environmental protection is always a priority and a top task for humans today in the face of climate change and a warming planet. Among these, the impact of waste and plastic bags is at an alarming level. According to statistics, hundreds of billions of plastic bags are released into the environment each year.
With their non-biodegradable properties (it takes more than 300 years for a plastic bag to fully decompose), in just a few more years, they will turn into a giant pile of garbage, emitting a foul odor that pollutes the air and affects the development of plants and animals. Plastic bags are made from toxic materials, so during the decomposition process, they will seep into the soil, causing serious water pollution and the unpredictable consequences that humans will face.
