Single-use Plastic bag!

Disposable plastic carry & packing bags, a blessing to the commercial world and a menace to world Nature resources

Invented in the 1960s the plastic began to take shape and rule the commercial face of the world

By the mid-1980s, plastic carry bags had successfully replaced paper bags in the major developed countries

Single-use plastic disposable carry bags that initially were produced with higher microns began to lose microns to competition and pricing

The last data report an average consumption of 380 million tons of plastic per year, half of which is these single-use disposable bags

The irony is that the bags are used only for moments to carry but disposed to remain for several years on the planet

At an average decomposing period of 15 - 20 years, the single-use plastic disposable bags remain in some form

To prevent rainwater from flowing into the earth, end up along with the leftover food in the bovines bowl

The flow of rivers are choked due to large quantity accumulation at the estuary, the overflows end in the sea causing severe harm to marine life

Rapid urbanisation and large scale industrialisation is also the reason for huge quantity deposition of waste plastic in the environment

The mission to end the plastic menace has begun and the focus is on ending single-use plastics, encouraging fossil fuel-based materials as effective alternates -
promoting 100 per cent recycling of plastics, drawing attention towards government & corporate accountability.

Changing human behaviour concerning plastics is the toughest part but unless this is achieved

Eradication of single-use disposable plastic carry bags will remain a nightmare!
