Plastics are organic materials based on high molecular weight compounds (polymers) of synthetic or natural origin.
More and more often, humanity faces the problem of the need to utilize plastic waste.
Plastic waste should never be burnt, as it causes a lot of harmful substances releasing into the atmosphere.
Plastic is often mixed with various materials, such as glass, metals, paper, and food waste.
A typical example is a juice carton with a laminated layer of aluminium/plastic.
In addition, it is almost impossible to dispose of plastic by natural decomposition since plastic takes over 200 years to decompose.
