Essay Outline:

● Hook: Plastic pollution is defined as the accumulation of the different

types of plastic material on land
Overview: as well as in water bodies like rivers, oceans, canals, lakes,
etc. As a commodity, it is used on a large scale all around the world.

● Thesis: Basically, it is a synthetic polymer that consists of many

organic and inorganic compounds, and is mostly derived from
petrochemicals like olefins.

 MP1: Plastic materials are mainly classified as thermoplastics

(polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride) and thermosetting polymers
(polyisoprene).

Con: Plastic materials are mainly classified as thermoplastics

MP2: Apart from these, they can also be classified as biodegradable,

engineering, and elastomer plastics. Although they are extremely useful in
many ways, and have been an important part of the global polymer
industry, their production as well as disposal, pose a great threat to all the
life forms on Earth.

Con: although plastics are useful in many ways, it pose a great threat to all
the life forms on earth

MP3: Plastic generally degrades in about 500 - 1000 years, though we

may never know its actual degradation time, as this material has been in
long-term use only since the last century. During its manufacture, many
hazardous chemicals are emitted that can lead to dreadful diseases in
humans as well as other animals. 

Con: many hazardous chemicals from plastics are emitted that can lead
to dreadful diseases in humans as well as other animals. 

● MP4: Ethylene oxide, xylene, and benzene are some of the chemical

toxins present in plastic, which can have hazardous effects on the
environment. It is not easy to dispose it off, and it can cause
permanent harm to living beings.

 Con: It is not easy to dispose it off, and it can cause permanent harm to
living beings.

MP5: Several additives found in plastic, such as phthalates, adipates, and

even alkylphenols, have been recognized as toxic materials. Vinyl chloride, which is
used in the manufacturing of PVC pipes, is classified as a carcinogen. We must be able
to recycle plastic waste properly, otherwise it will be very dangerous for our environment.

Conclusion: We must be able to recycle plastic waste properly, otherwise it will

be very dangerous for our environment.
