Challenge 1- #How long until it is gone?
Plastics are every where, or we can say that we are surrounded by plastics.
We use plastics as they are very attractive to look and cheap to buy.
If we are using it, then it is necessary to have a knowledge about how to decompose or dispose these plas4tics. Do you know how long does it take to decompose? It takes more than a year.
Let's check out a survey how long do these different plastics survive
1. Balloons- 6months to 4 years
2. Poly bags- 10-20 years
3. Lotion bottles- 400 years
4. Use and throw pen- 1000 years
5. Rope- 3 to 14 months
6. Plastic files cover- 10 to 1000 years
