Plastics are not having high melting point so how it is useful to those who were living in warn areas?

Solution

While the melting points of different types of plastic vary widely, most of them are comfortably above the maximum temperature of liquid water under normal conditions, or 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).
It is impossible for anywhere in earth to have that temperature to melt a plastic.

Q. Those who live near areas are most likely to suffer from malaria.

Most plastic is manufactured from petroleum products. Petrol is the end product of a few million years of natural decay of once-living organisms like plants and animals. Petroleum's main components come from lipids that were first assembled long ago in those organisms' cells. So the question is, if petroleum-derived plastic comes from biomaterial, why doesn't it biodegrade?

1.Decomposers don't have specific enzymes for plastic decomposition.

2.Because of high molecular weight of plastic, it will sediment too deep inside earth where bacteria is absent.

3.Because of colours in the polythene bags, decomposers are unable to decompose.

4. Bond energy in polymer is higher.

Q. Statement:
