Most of the people using a plastic to put the purchased items came from market and many bought item need a solid pouch so one of the necessities is plastic. Plastic is the basic equipment to put different things, one of its benefits is to help make the purchased good easier to carry. Many people prefer to use alternative material other than plastics for the reason that alternative materials is easier to bring and quickly to decompose since plastic is non-biodegradable and harmful to nature. Plastics also have numerous disadvantages, such as toxic substances that may leak out and adversely affect humans and other organisms. There are about 20 types of prime plastics use in the worldwide (APME 2006).Plastics has bad effect on our surroundings especially on human, it affects the lifestyle of a person since plastic contains a substance that harm people. Typically, there are many chemical substances present in plastic bottles or containers, many of which are a serious risk factor for health. For example, potentially dangerous human exposure to toxic components such as Bisphenol A (BPA), thalates, antiminitroxide, brominated flame retardants, and poly-fluorinated chemicals etc. are notable (Halden 2010).
Plastic has a detrimental effect on human health for example in our drinks and food we eat that store in a plastic or in a bottles there is possibilities that we can get a diseases from these. Also Plastic has a negative impact on our environment, it can affect the habitat of different species of coral reefs and fishes. The distribution of plastic debris is highly variable as a result of certain factors such as wind and ocean currents, urban areas, and trade routes. Human population in certain areas also plays a large role in this plastics can also be used as vectors for chemical contaminants such as persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals (Barnes et al. 2009). Toxic chemical release during manufacture is another significant source of the negative environmental impact of plastics.
This toxic chemicals can harm our oceans, seas, rivers, lakeshores etc if not disposed properly it could affect the lives of animals and humans especially our mother nature. Plastic is takes so long before it decompose, according to the Telegraph (2018), the most durable plastic items, such as bottles, disposable nappies and beer holders, can take 450 years to biodegrade. Plastics composed of chemicals that can cause chronic diseases, there are several chemicals within plastic material itself that have been added to give it certain properties such as Bisphenol A, phthalates and flame retardants. These all have known negative effects on human and animal health, mainly affecting the endocrine system. There are also toxic monomers, which have been linked to cancer and reproductive problems. As a consequence we proposed a study about the how to address the problems about Plastics with the use of alternative material instead of plastic in order to provide them a better material to use and easy to decompose.
