1. Impact on agricultural development.
The continuous accumulation of waste plastic products mixed in the soil can affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, leading to reduced crop yields.
2. Posing a threat to the survival of animals.
Waste plastic products discarded on land or in water bodies are swallowed by animals as food, leading to animal death. Last year, 20 herdsmen along Qinghai Lake died of nearly a thousand sheep, resulting in an economic loss of over 300000 yuan. Sheep like to eat oily residues wrapped in plastic bags, but they often eat them together. Due to the plastic being left in their stomachs for a long time and difficult to digest, these sheep's stomachs are filled and they can no longer eat, ultimately starving to death. Such incidents are common in zoos, pastoral areas, rural areas, and the ocean.
3. Occupy land resources.
Plastic waste landfill not only occupies a large amount of land, but also the occupied land cannot be restored for a long time, affecting the sustainable use of land. If the waste plastic products that enter the household garbage are buried, they will not degrade for 200 years.
