Question

Which of the following packaging materials should be preferred for keeping the environment safe?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Plastic bags are non-biodegradable. They take thousands of years to decompose. This leads to the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment and causes significant harm in the form of air, water, and land pollution.

However, paper and jute bags are made from natural substances. They are biodegradable and get decomposed in a short span of time.

Hence, paper and jute bags should be preferred over plastic bags.
