Everything has two sides, both good and bad. There are advantages and disadvantages. Plastic bags are no exception. Plastic bags have common problems such as easy aging, flammability, poor heat resistance, and low rigidity. But what is the biggest disadvantage of plastic bags? Then it is certainly not easy to degrade.The raw material of the plastic bag is a polymer compound, which has a stable structure and is not easily degraded by natural microorganisms. It takes more than a hundred years to be degraded naturally. Because plastic bags have completely "infiltrated" into our lives, people have become accustomed to using cheap, widely available, and easy-to-use plastic bags. In addition, because of the low cost and simple production of plastic bags, there are no other materials that can be used at the same time. With these advantages, this has led to a huge amount of plastic bags used, coupled with people's low environmental awareness, they will be discarded at will after use, causing huge pollution to the environment.Therefore, the editor believes that compared with other shortcomings, the biggest disadvantage of plastic bags is that they are not easily degradable. It is precisely because of this shortcoming that plastic bags are prohibited or restricted in some places.
