Plastic pollution is a growing<br />

environmental concern worldwide.<br />

Plastic waste, especially single-use<br />

plastics, has a negative impact on<br />

our ecosystems, including our<br />

marine life. Moreover, it is<br />

increasingly becoming evident that<br />

plastic pollution also poses health<br />

risks to humans, especially through<br />

the consumption of food.<br />

Plastic is made up of toxic chemicals,<br />

and as it breaks down into smaller<br />

pieces, these chemicals can leach<br />

into the surrounding environment.<br />

This process is accelerated when<br />

plastics are exposed to sunlight,<br />

heat, or acidic environments. When<br />

plastics end up in our oceans, they<br />

break down into microplastics, These<br />

microplastics can be ingested by<br />

marine organisms and make their<br />

way up the food chain.
