plastics can be made less harmful through:-
(1)by using less harmful recycled plastics:-
Choosing products made with recycled plastic helps curb landfill waste and encourages further plastics recycling. In 2007, the U.S recycled less than 7 percent of discarded plastic. This amounted to 2.1 million tons of plastic. Because recycled plastic can be used to produce such diverse products as carpeting and toothbrushes, purchasing them can also reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing consumer products made with other virgin materials, such as cotton and polyester.
(2)biodegradable trash bags. Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics aim to create products that break down into harmless substances like water, carbon dioxide and biomass, rather than toxic contaminants
