Plastic Sustainability: A Dubious Concept
In today’s world, the term “sustainability” is often used to describe the need for an activity or product to meet the present and future generations’ environmental, social, and economic requirements without causing harm. However, the sustainability of plastic is a questionable concept due to its production, consumption, and management’s impact on the ecosystem.
Plastic products are popular worldwide, but they also pose risks to the environment. According to studies, nearly 300 million tons of plastic are produced globally every year, with 95% of them being single-use products. This high production rate has led to an increase in plastic waste, which poses a threat to the ecosystem.
Inevitable consequences of past choices
According to historical records, the first synthetic plastic was created in 1907, revolutionizing the manufacturing industry. Since then, the production of plastics has increased significantly, with consumer demand driving innovation and expansion in the industry.
Despite their popularity, plastics have been found to have negative effects on the environment and human health. They are not biodegradable, which means they can take hundreds of years to break down. Additionally, they release harmful chemicals when they degrade, contaminating soil and water.
