Have you ever wondered where the glass and plastic products come from??? Or have you ever thought about where they go after we have thrown or crushed them!!!! Here lies your answer to that. We went on the streets to know the life cycle of the plastic and the glass products enabling the world to understand what actually is done before these products come to us and after we leave the products stranded on the streets of our locality. Plastic bags were first introduced in 1977 and now account for four out of every five bags handed out at grocery stores. Although few peer-reviewed studies or government surveys have provided estimates for global plastic bag use, environmental activists estimate that between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used each year worldwide. In 2009, the United States International Trade Commission reported that 102 billion plastic bags are used annually in the United States alone. In recent decades, numerous countries have introduced legislation restricting the sale of plastic bags, in a bid to reduce littering and pollution. A similar kind of structure was recognized when we tried to assess the life cycle of a glass bottle. After the manufacturing and the subsequent use of the bottles, the so-called waste is gathered and sent to recycle. The recycling of glass is very essential as they have a wide range of uses such as in concrete, reused bottles etc.
