The Influence of the Plastic Bags on the Environment
Summary
This review examines the environmental impact of plastic bags, covering their persistence in the environment, threats to wildlife, and policy responses including bans and taxes. The study documents growing global action to reduce single-use plastic bags as one of the most visible contributors to plastic pollution.
It is known, as well as a rule, that plastic materials can not instictively and naturally degrade when released into the environment. Due to the persistence of plastics to degradation and also to propagation in industry, the problem of plastic pollution has progressed considerable in order to become a threat to global ecology, on land and sea. The present study presents a global mapping of actions brought in to reduce the use of plastic, plastic bags and foamed plastic products, followed by selected case studies from each region of the world, with more attention offered to the European Union countries and the strategies elaborated by them to provide a cleaner and safer environment.
