How Long Does Plastic Disappear?

Due to its low cost, plastic material used in many products is the most harmful waste to nature. At least 1000 years after the plastic bags are thrown into the forest, these products are completely dissolved. In the same way, it takes 500 years for plastic dishes to dissolve and 400 years for pet bottles. Various situations arise when a plastic bag is left in the vicinity. First of all, because the soil does not have the ability to absorb plastics, the plastic that remains in the soil for a very long time releases toxic and harmful chemicals to the ground. Over time, these plastic wastes are tried to be digested by the creatures and refractors in the ground. In this case, the living beings in the earth are exposed to the same negative effects, losing their lives and reaching the destruction of the soil balance and even the water balance. Since the raw materials of plastic bags are petroleum-derived, they continue to dissolve even after a long period of 1000 years required to dissolve the adverse effects left on the environment. Instead of petroleum-derived plastic bags, there are products to choose from. They are both easier to dissolve and less harmful to nature during their dissolution. Some products and disappearance times in the nature are as follows: Foam materials 50 years, aluminum boxes 200-300 years, disposable baby diapers 400-500 years, glass bottles 1 million years and over Therefore, it is necessary to struggle to classify the waste, primarily plastic bags, to provide recycling, and to leave it to the wild. Well, what can be done simply for this? The raw materials of nature-friendly bags which are frequently encountered in the markets are natural products Bags and products obtained from biodegradable plastic produced with natural and biological substances are added to the structure to accelerate disappearance in the nature. Generally, the raw materials are wheat, corn and potato starch derived from plants, and therefore there is no harmful effect when dissolved in the soil. Bacteria can also be accelerated by the effect of water and carbon dioxide. In the markets, cloth bags and their varieties, known as nature friendly bags, are less harmful to the environment and more beneficial for people because they are prepared with these materials. To be respectful to nature and to make a great contribution to humanity, it is necessary to be conscious about waste management, to contribute to recycling, to minimize the use of harmful materials such as plastic.
