Question

Where does the majority of plastic waste end up?

• A. Oceans
• B. Burned for energy
• C. Landfills
• D. Recycled

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Oceans

Answer: (A) Oceans

• The bulk of plastics end up in landfills, but later they will reach the oceans.
• The most ancient method of waste management is landfilling and it is still used in several regions of the world.
• It is the fastest way our plastic can be discarded, but it is not environmentally friendly.
• It is also blown to pieces as plastic is transported to landfills since it is very light.
• This will fly away into irrigation systems and end up in rivers and oceans.
• Because most fish are dying by choking on plastic, so plastic in the oceans is becoming a big concern.
