Effective timetable
Non-degradable plastic products have been widely used since the 20th century due to their low price, light weight, large capacity, and easy storage. However, due to the special properties of its material, it takes about 200 to 1000 years to decompose, basically it can be said to be non-degradable, and it also brings a lot of harm!
According to incomplete statistics, more than 800 million tons of plastic products are manufactured in the world every year, of which only 9% of plastic products are recycled, and the remaining 91% either invade the soil or flow into the ocean, resulting in an increasingly serious global plastic pollution problem.
The problem of plastic pollution cannot be delayed. At present, many countries and regions around the world have introduced governance measures. The reason for Canada's comprehensive ban on the import of single-use plastics must also be implemented. my country also attaches great importance to the problem of plastic pollution, and has successively introduced policies related to "banning plastics".
