Water pollution (plastic bag recycle)

Water pollution is caused by deliberate or accidental release of toxic chemicals substances, waste of plastic bag, pollutants and harmful substances into water bodies such as rivers, lakes and sea.

Water pollution may also be caused by specific points or contributing factors such as large factories, oil refineries, construction sites, chemical waste management facilities, dump sites and other large scale operations that store produce large amounts of chemical or hazardous waste. It also cause of waste of plastic bags that human always throw everywhere. In addition, we need to recycle plastic bag in every place in our country to save our earth.

Plastic bags have some unique problems. Although the environmental costs they impose on society, the cost of plastic bags for retailers is relatively low. Made from ethylene, a by product of petroleum or natural gas, plastic bags are so cheap and flimsy that cashiers use it freely, using so many plastic bags to customers and it can be a source of wastage.

Even when disposed of properly, plastic bags are so lightweight and aerodynamic, they are easily taken and carried by the wind. It can escape from bins, recycling bins, garbage trucks, and landfills, and end up have a rubbish at the surrounding.

A Google search on “animals eat plastic bags” brings up hundreds of heart breaking stories and images from around the world. So many foraging cows in India have died from ingesting plastic bag litter that many of the states in that country have banned the distribution of plastic bags. In the United Arab Emirates, a veterinarian has documented images of camels, sheep, goats, and endangered desert animals dead because eating plastic bags.

Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products. Since plastic is non-biodegradable, recycling is a part of global efforts to reduce plastic in the waste stream, especially the approximately eight million metric tonnes of waste plastic that enter the Earth's ocean every year. This helps to reduce the high rates of plastic pollution.

Plastic recycling includes taking any type of plastic sorting it into different polymers and then chipping it and then melting it down into pellets after this stage it can then be used to make items of any kind such as plastic chairs and tables. Soft Plastics are also recycled such as polyethylene film and bags. This closed-loop operation has taken place since the 1970s and has made the production of some plastic products among the most efficient operations today.

Compared with lucrative recycling of metal, and similar to the low value of glass, plastic polymers recycling is often more challenging because of low density and low value. There are also numerous technical hurdles to overcome when recycling plastic.

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to us. Recycling begins at home. If you are not throwing away any of your old product and instead utilizing it for something new then you are actually recycling.

When you think of recycling you should really think about the whole idea which is reduce, reuse and recycle. We have been careless up to this point with the way we have treated the Earth and it’s time to change, not just the way we do things but the way we think. We should recycle because to make environment clean, conservation of materials, to save energy and reduce garbage.

Recycling is good for the environment, in the sense, we are using old and waste products which are of no use and then converting them back to same new products. Since we are saving resources and are sending less trash to the landfills, it helps in reducing air and water pollution.

When you think of recycling you should really think about the whole idea; reduce, reuse and recycle. Think about it if you have to get it, get something that can be used again and if you get something that needs to be recycled by the professionals, put it in the recycle bin.

Conservation is an important part of recycling issue. In addition, when you produce less garbage it helps in reducing the landfills and also helps in giving the land back to the nature.

Recycling serve to two purpose that is first, it avoid landfills and helps in reducing air and water pollution and secondly, valuable material like aluminium cans and plastic and glass are reused in other forms and not wasted.

However, be mindful of what you do, pay attention to the items you buy and always check yourself to see if you really need use the plastic bags. Without we realize that we all can do our part and we will make a huge difference.

Throw away all the garbage in your house that is of no use to you or you think you can’t utilize it in some other way. If you don’t have these boxes, you can easily purchase a suitable container for each recyclable product, for example paper, plastic, and glass and then take these go to near your local recycling center.

What you can recycle depends on your area, not all materials may be recyclable. Check with your local recycle center to find out what you can and cannot recycle. Others thing that we can save our planet are separate the recyclable materials from garbage such as paper, plastic, aluminium cans, steel cans and glassware. All containers of coloured or clear glass including bottles, food containers, bottles of vitamins, cosmetics and similar containers can be recycled. Glassware should be put into the green recycling bins.

Then, all kinds of goods made from aluminium cans as beverage can recycling must be put in the red bins.

Next, all types of paper, whether coloured or colourless such as old newspapers, old magazines, books, catalogues, brochures, calendars, cards, envelopes and boxes are recyclable. All types of paper must be put in the blue bins.

Finally, all plastic coloured or colourless like shopping bags, supermarket bags, beverage bottles, mineral water bottles, food containers, soap containers, vitamins and similar containers can be recycled. Plastic-based items should be put into the recycling bins in yellow.

Try to avoid the use of plastic bag and plastic paper as much as possible. However it just not only pollute the environment but also helps in filling landfills. Also, when you shop try to look out for the products that have least packaging or bring the bag itself from home to the supermarket. It also can help to reduce the use of plastic bag.
