Plastic is easy to recycle and disappears in landfills؟
إجابة الطالب المختصرة من خلال موقع بوابة الإجابات هي
False
The statement "Plastic is easy to recycle and disappears in landfills" is **incorrect** and contains two major misconceptions:
* **Plastic is NOT easy to recycle:** While some types of plastic are technically recyclable, the reality is that a very small percentage of plastic actually gets recycled. Many factors contribute to this:
* **Contamination:** Food residue, labels, and other materials can contaminate recycling streams, making the plastic unusable.
* **Type of Plastic:** Different types of plastic require different recycling processes. Many municipal recycling programs only accept a limited number of plastic types (often PET #1 and HDPE #2). Others with recycling symbols #3-7 are often not recycled.
* **Market Demand:** The economics of recycling depend on the demand for recycled plastic. If it's cheaper to produce new plastic, there is less incentive to recycle.
* **Infrastructure:** Not all communities have robust recycling infrastructure to collect, sort, and process plastic.
* **Plastic does NOT disappear in landfills:** Plastic is not biodegradable. It can take hundreds or even thousands of years to break down in a landfill, and even then, it may only break down into smaller microplastics, which can still be harmful to the environment.
In summary, recycling plastic is complex and often ineffective, and plastic persists in landfills for extremely long periods.
