PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these
things so fast that the Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new
ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last
for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed.
They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be
smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.

Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used
again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled
in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as
bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather
than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can
be sold or given away to charity shops.
