Plastic and polythene products must be banned

Waste Management (10)

Give a reason: Plastic and polythene products must be banned

Answer

Plastic and polythene products must be banned because they are non-biodegradable and take hundreds of years to decompose. If these plastics are ingested by animals like cattle or marine life like whales, it can lead to their death. They cause clogging of drains/ pollute soil/ obstruct the seepage of water.
