Disposable bags in the west contaminating the water? I would be immensely surprised if that's even 1% of clothes and shampoos/beauty products. We don't normally put plastic backs in running water for ages.
- cyberax 4y agoYes. Thin disposable bags are easily degraded mechanically, resulting in lots of microparticles. For clothes it's even worse, they produce microparticles at all times, especially during laundry.
- concordDance 4y agoThin plastic bags in the west have a very short lifecycle that goes mostly shop->home->bin->landfill (segregated from water table). There is almost no opportunity for it to actually contaminate the water.
