enters into the food chain.
For instance
, reports have shown that humans consume approximately 2 grams of nano
plastic
particles every year through food.
This
results in severe illness and health problems. The solution to the
plastic
waste management crisis we are facing today is easier said than done.
Although
recycling is an option to reduce
plastic
production, the cost associated with recycling is huge compared to manufacturing polycarbonate

.
Therefore

should be promoted in the market, namely, companies

thus
making people aware that it is high time to turn our back on

products
. In summary, as more and more
plastic
is manufactured they end up polluting our
oceans
and lands. They enter into the food chain and cause health problems,
therefore
it is important that we find a solution for
this
problem. There are many innovative solutions available in the market right now and they need to be promoted as alternatives to
plastic
products
.
