Our rapid industrial revolutions have always been unchecked. Putting pressure on the
\nworld\u2019s resources has always been the side effect of industrialization and consumerism; be it oil, coal, human resource and even plastics.<\/p>\n
The unbalanced production and consumption have led to our resources running out or
\ngetting over-used. It is causing a significant impact on the environment especially plastics.<\/p>\n
But let me ask a question\u2026<\/p>\n
Is the Plastic really the problem?<\/strong> Plastics is a boon, for the food scarcity problem of the world.<\/p>\n What is the problem?<\/strong> Plastic is not getting recycled, use is unchecked, burnt in uncontrolled conditions, drains getting clogged, beaches are littered.<\/p>\n Then what is the Real Problem?<\/strong> The solution does not lie in banning plastics. Loom around, plastics are everywhere. Food packaging, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, furniture, clothing etc. Imagine life without plastics in all these products. Let\u2019s do the right thing, let\u2019s recycle, reuse and reduce. But banning plastics is not the solution.<\/p>\n At a time when a \u2018climate emergency\u2019 has been declared, it is important that people Plastics provide many critical benefits across a range of products and it’s important this fact is recognized. Plastics will – and should – continue to play a vital role in all our lives going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our rapid industrial revolutions have always been unchecked.

\nPlastic has many benefits. It keeps many industries and technologies running. It has made the construction of many consumer durables and cars easier with lightweight plastic materials. Plastic packaging also contributes to minimizing food waste, increases food shelf life when packed and makes its movement cheaper and easier to far fledged regions of the world.<\/p>\n
\nA war on all plastics has been declared by media, environmentalists and Greta Thunberg\u2019s of the world. Why is #SayNoToPlastic trending everywhere? Plastic litter is overflowing our landfills, oceans, reaching food chains of animals, marine life and even us humans as microplastic particles.<\/p>\n
\nIts not plastics to be blamed. Any material used and littered unchecked will create the same issues. Even you throw the glass on the floor, it is bound to cause harm. All resources must be used and disposed of properly. Why blame Plastics, if we are not handling it properly.<\/p>\n
\nunderstand that \u2018plastic-free\u2019 does not necessarily mean \u2018better for the environment\u2019.
\nUsing any material has environmental costs, but the costs associated with plastic products are often significantly lower than using alternative materials.<\/p>\n
