Plastic is a synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable and can be shaped into various forms. Since its invention, plastic has become an integral part of daily life, used in everything from packaging and consumer goods to medical devices and automotive parts. However, the widespread use of plastic has also led to significant environmental concerns, particularly regarding its impact on oceans, wildlife, and human health. The durability and versatility of plastic are offset by its persistence in the environment, where it can take hundreds of years to decompose. Efforts to reduce plastic waste, increase recycling, and develop biodegradable alternatives are underway to mitigate its environmental footprint and promote sustainability.
