For many people, it is convenient to buy food because it makes shopping quicker. Plastic is cheap to produce, which makes it accessible for everyone ; It both benefits businesses and consumers to save money ; It is light so that people can carry it around. Despite its lightness, it’s also very strong to protect the items inside from damage during transportation; Plastic packaging helps keep food fresh for longer by preventing air and bacteria from getting in. This reduces food waste and is a key aspect of food safety ; Many types of plastic can be recycled, which means they can be turned into new products after use. This helps to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills.
One of the biggest disadvantages of plastic is that it doesn’t break down (使分解) easily. This means that plastic waste can persist(持续存在) in the environment for hundreds of years, it pollutes our land and oceans, it is really terrible for the environment . If the plastic packaging litter improperly. This poses a threat to wildlife that can mistake it for food.; Some plastics can be a risk to our health when they come into contact with food or are exposed to heat .
