When your shampoo runs out, what do you do with the packaging? After eating yogurt, where does the pot go? And the plastic grocery bags, do you reuse them?
All of the materials mentioned above are plastics, and plastics are synthetic polymers as well as rubbers and synthetic fibers. We use these materials in various sectors, such as civil construction, in the production of electronics, toys, fabrics and packaging.
Plastics are so present in our daily lives that people say that we are living in the “Age of Plastics”. However, synthetic polymers have been considered the greatest enemies of the environment. Do you know why?
In 1999, it was estimated that each Brazilian threw away, annually, 10 kg of plastic material alone. The European discarded around 38kg of this type of garbage in a year. The average of the North American – amazing! – was 70kg in the same period. Currently, in Brazil, more than 183,000 tons of urban waste of all types are produced per day, according to the Ministry of the Environment.
Now imagine all this garbage cluttering landfills and spreading through nature, contaminating the soil, water and atmosphere? You don't even have to imagine too much: the consequences of incorrect waste disposal are felt often in cities, for example, when manholes clog and floods damage the entire population.
