05 Environmental and Human Health EffectsSee More05 Environmental and Human Health EffectsWhen they are thrown into the nature, they cause image pollution and harm the living organisms and the soil. In addition, the recycling and importance of plastic waste is of great importance since it takes a long time for the plastic wastes to enter the nature under normal conditions.
Causes air pollution by incineration.
Disposal into the sea will damage the marine ecosystem. Some creatures can be drowned by perceiving plastic as food. Plastic wastes circulate to their bodies and limit their mobility.
In addition, the plastics thrown into the sea decompose into microplastics with the effect of sunlight. In recent years, microplastics have been found in the bodies of marine organisms. It also affects human health by joining the food chain through fishWhen they are thrown into the nature, they cause image pollution and harm the living organisms and the soil.

06 Methods to be AppliedSee More06 Methods to be AppliedPlastic wastes are first collected separately according to their types and then recycled. Recyclable plastic wastes are separated into small pieces in crushing machines. The enterprises can use these parts in the production process by mixing them with certain amounts of raw materials, as well as re-melting them and adding them as second class raw materials.
