Although plastics have many properties which makes it very useful in our daily lives, yet we should try to avoid them as far as possible. This is because plastics are non-biodegradable. The waste created by plastics is not environment-friendly, which on burning release poisonous gases. Plastics may take years to degrade and keep on piling up and hence are an environmental hazard for the living community.
