Woman searches for plastic bottles to recycle from a canal full of waste in Dhaka, on September 20, 2022. Recycling is necessary because almost all plastic is non-biodegradable and thus builds-up in the environment, where it can cause harm. For example, approximately 8 million tons of waste plastic enter the Earth's oceans every year, causing damage to the aquatic ecosystem and forming large ocean garbage patches.

A baby golden jackal (Canis aureus) Cub is chewing a plastic Box Strapping Roll used in Packaging, in a forest in the evening at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 20/05/2022. Hungry animals usually smell food in plastic containers and bags; if they accidentally manage to eat the plastic (non-biodegradable waste) can also cause intestinal blockages and can become fatal for that animal. Very recently India imposed a ban on many single-use plastics in a bid to tackle waste choking rivers and poisoning wildlife.
