Solution
Plastic:
Plastic is non-biodegradable trash that is difficult to handle and takes a long time to disintegrate in nature through the natural process of microbes.
Plastic combustion releases additional toxins into the environment.
There are several environmentally friendly alternatives available that are not harmful to the environment:
Bags made of jute: Because jute bags are comprised of biodegradable polymers, we may use them instead of plastic.
Paper bags are also biodegradable by microorganisms in nature.
Cloth bags are constructed of biodegradable polymers as well. As a result, paper bags can be used in place of plastic bags.
