The goods and chattels we use at home are made of plastic. Almost every usable item in the home is made of it, moreover the food and hygienic products are packed under it to keep them safe from germs. The most important and hardly resistible things like car, laptop and mobile phone are made of it. Many of you might chew on it every day in the form of gum. Your thirst quenching water bottles and food containers are all made of it. In simple words, we can say that our life is like an empty vessel if no plastic materials based goods are there.

Do you know many forms of plastic cannot be recycled whereas some forms can be recycled, but that too up to a few set of times?
