What are the Hazards of Waste Plastic Bags?


In the whole process from production to treatment of plastic bags, it will consume a lot of resources and cause serious pollution to the earth. The natural decomposition of every plastic bag needs more than 200 years, which will pollute the surrounding land and water. We must draw attention to waste plastic recycling.

If the waste plastic products mixed in the household garbage are buried in landfills, they will not be degraded for 200 years.

Pyrolysis Plant Solves the Plastic Pollution

It’s known that the plastic bags we use in our daily life have many hazards:

1. Seriously affect our health. When the disposable plastic tableware reaches to 65℃, its hazardous substance will seep into the food, which will damage to people’s liver kidney and central nervous system, etc.

Above is the introduction of plastic bags’ hazards. We can’t ignore the hazards that plastic bags bring, and we must do something to recycle waste plastics. As a professional manufacturer of tyre/plastic/rubber pyrolysis plant, Beston has developed the latest plastic pyrolysis plant to convert waste material such as plastics, tyres, rubber into fueo oil. The fuel oil can be used in brickyard, lime plant, steel plant, etc. Waste plastic pyrolysis plant can create great fortune for you!
