The environmental pollution of plastic products can be reduced from the following aspects:

First, reduce the use
Bring your own shopping bags: When shopping, bring reusable cloth bags, canvas bags or reusable bags, and reduce the use of single-use plastic bags. These bags are durable and can be used multiple times, greatly reducing the need for plastic bags. For example, when going to the supermarket, prepare the shopping bags in advance and refuse the plastic bags offered by the cashier.
Refuse disposable cutlery: When eating out or ordering takeout, try to choose non-disposable cutlery, such as bringing stainless steel cutlery or choosing reusable lunch boxes. Disposable plastic tableware is often discarded at will after use, causing great pollution to the environment. If you often order takeout, you can prepare a set of your own tableware in the office or home for easy use at any time.
Reduce the purchase of excessive packaging of goods: many goods packaging excessive use of plastic, in the purchase can choose simple packaging, environmentally friendly products. For example, when buying fruit, you can choose to buy it in bulk rather than in a plastic box. When buying cosmetics, choose brands with simple packaging to reduce the waste of plastic packaging.
Second, reuse
Plastic bottle reuse: The drink bottle can be cleaned and used to hold water, spices and so on. Smaller plastic bottles can be converted into vases for arranging flowers to decorate a room. Multiple plastic bottles can also be combined to make a simple storage box or flower pot holder.
Express packaging reuse: After receiving the express, the intact express boxes and plastic bags are saved and can be used again when the next express is sent. For some larger express boxes, they can be transformed into storage boxes to store debris.
Multiple use of plastic bags: Collect used plastic bags for the next time you go shopping, or use them for garbage. For some relatively strong plastic bags, they can be used to store clothes, shoes, etc., to give full play to their role.
Three, correct recycling
Sorting: Understand the local garbage sorting policy, and correctly classify plastic products. In general, clean plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic containers, etc. are recyclables and should be placed in recyclable trash cans. Contaminated plastic products, such as used plastic wrap, plastic bags, etc., may belong to other garbage.
Participate in recycling activities: Some communities, schools or businesses will organize activities to recycle plastic products, and you can actively participate in these activities to recycle waste plastic products at home. At the same time, you can also pay attention to the recycling projects of some environmental protection organizations, understand their recycling methods and requirements, and hand over waste plastic products to them for professional treatment.
Support the recycling industry: Buy products made from recycled plastics and support the recycling industry. For example, some brands have launched environmentally friendly clothing, environmentally friendly household goods, etc., using recycled plastics as raw materials, which is both environmentally friendly and fashionable.
Fourth, promote alternative products
Paper alternatives: In some cases, paper products can be used instead of plastic products. Such as using paper bags instead of plastic bags, paper straws instead of plastic straws, paper lunch boxes instead of plastic lunch boxes. Although paper products also have a certain environmental impact, they are relatively easier to degrade and less polluting to the environment.
Biodegradable plastics: Choose to use biodegradable plastic products. Degradable plastics can be decomposed into harmless substances under certain conditions, reducing long-term pollution to the environment. For example, some degradable plastic bags, tableware, etc., can be decomposed quickly in the natural environment, reducing the damage to the ecosystem.
Environmentally friendly material products: products made of other environmentally friendly materials, such as bamboo products, glass products, metal products, etc. Tableware made of bamboo fiber, glass bottles, stainless steel thermos cups and so on are good alternatives, they are not only environmentally friendly, but also durable, can be used for a long time.
