Life cycle of Plastic Water Bottle by Sultan Al Madani

# data[].attributes.body
Most disposable water bottles are made of Polyethylene Terephthalene (PET), it is the common plastic for single-use bottles. It is a strong, clear, and lightweight material used for many food and beverage containers. You can find the recycling code on the bottle's bottom.

Manufacturing:

Raw materials like PET are melted and formed into small tubes and inject it to the molding machine to form the bottles. After labeling, it will undergo to the quality control to inspect the quality standards.

Distribution:

It starts with packaging the bottles then shipping it to the distribution center and sent to various points of sale. Businesses use a combination of retail partnership and e-commerce platforms to make all the products accessible to consumers.

After I dispose my used water bottles, I am sure that it will be recycled because I am throwing it in the proper place.

There's a huge bad impact if the plastic is not properly disposed. The environment will be in trouble because of pollution. Since, plastic cannot be easy to decompose it will end up to some places and mostly in seas and oceans. If the plastic stay in the ocean it will be more of a problem, it will destroy marine animals. Recycling will be a good thing to do to keep our environment clean, safe and sustainable. We can protect our environment by recycling and reducing the use of plastic.

I found out that the process of making plastic is very difficult and requires more time to distribute it to people. I also learned that it will take too much time to decomposed it so it will be better if we don't throw our garbages improperly.

I picked a berain water bottle as my plastic product the type of plastic they use is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic and they advice you to recycle. This bottle was manufactured by the company that produces water bottles berain and it came to our house from a company that ships water bottles. If I dispose it i think it will land in a landfill. If its not disposed correctly i think it could end up in the ocean since some people do not care about theyre environment. To reduce this impact we can try to reduce the use of plastic bottles and recycle plastic bottles, the thing I found very interesting is that plastic has many types instead of just one.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched about water bottles and discovered that they are made in factories. I also discovered that they are made of plastic and are bad for the environment. When I throw a water bottle in the trash it either gets dumped in an ocean on in a dump.

The Process of Plastic Straws Between Oceans (Faisal Alhajiri)

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic straws are generally a big, big problem in our oceans, it is very slim, so it is difficult for sea creatures, not having the complex brains of humans, commonly mistake the straw as food, causing them to choke, or the straw gets into the nose, causing immense nose bleed. Plastic straws are single use items made from polypropylene and petroleum based plastics, they are non biodegradable, so they don’t decompose in a human lifespan, most likely taking millions of years to decompose. They normally end up in homes, as many children drink and bring juice to school. We can help reduce this by protesting against this and using paper straws that don’t harm the environment. Plastic straws are one of the most common forms of plastic that get thrown into the ocean. About 100,000 sea creatures are estimated to die due to this tragedy each year. If we dispose this production, it would get sent to a recycling center and would be used for better things.

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic water bottles in the ocean can have serious consequences for humans. As they break down into microplastics, these tiny plastic particles are eaten by fish and other sea creatures that people often consume. This means microplastics can enter the human body through seafood, and while the long-term health effects are still being studied, early research suggests possible links to hormone disruption, inflammation, and other health issues. Additionally, plastic pollution harms the fishing and tourism industries, which many communities depend on for their livelihoods. The cleanup costs also fall on taxpayers, making it not just an environmental problem but an economic one too. Also Water bottles, especially single-use plastic ones, have become a major source of marine pollution. When improperly disposed of, these bottles often end up in rivers and oceans, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose. Over time, they break down into microplastics, which are ingested by marine animals, disrupting ecosystems and entering the food chain. This pollution not only threatens marine life but also affects human health and coastal economies that rely on clean water and tourism. The widespread presence of plastic bottles in the sea highlights the urgent need for better waste management, recycling systems, and a shift toward reusable alternatives

1.        I will use plastic bags

2.        It says plastic recycling

3.        Plastic bags are always used because they let you put your things inside it

4.        Plastic bags can come in my home because maybe they where in shops, stores, and malls

5.        It will be recycled

6.        Plastic sometimes end up in the ocean and can kill animals or choke them and it is a global issue that plastic can be in the ocean. The most place plastic can end up in beaches . In other countries plastic is all around beaches.

7.        We can recycle it and using them to make more things.

8.        That we had to learn how plastic is in oceans and that it is a global issue.

# data[].attributes.body
1)The product I selected is a plastic bag

2) symbols, such as: LDPE

3) I think it came from a place that does plastic bags and gives them to supermarkets etc to use them.

4) What will happen after I dispose is maybe it will be recycled or thrown in the ocean but probably it will be recycled.

5) If plastic is not disposed properly it can be whipped away to the Sea, it can be stick in animals mouth or become stuck on the car’s tyre.

6) We can reduce this impact by recycling, disposing properly and buying reusable products.

7) I found the most surprising thing in this activity is that how plastic is harmful

# data[].attributes.body
The product that i chose of is a plastic container

i noticed there was a sign that said PP and that stands for Polypropylene, which is known for its durabilty. it also has a recycle logo so i think they recommend you to recycle it

its used for storing (e.g., Food, Water) it has been chosen for that purpose because for example if you are hungry in a camp or anything else.

it came from munipack (owned by manaf) i think it came in my home because while my family were shoping they found them and took them

i think if i dispose of it it might be taken to a landfill

if plastic is not properly recycled many plastic will end up in the ocean, then fishes and all sorts of marinelife think of it as food and eat it, later on when we eat these marine life because of the plastic inside the marine life we could probably suffocate, resulting in bad breathing and even death, it also can cause the marinelife to die to when eating said plastic. which could cause them to go extinct

i suggest to use reusable plastic or recycle the plastic

i found it suprising that many humans could die if the marine life isnt taken good care of

# data[].attributes.body
I chose a nova water bottle it can be recycled 15 times

# data[].attributes.body
I researched about the water since it’s the most used One time useful thing that can be recycled more than 15 times and and is a harmful to the ocean and it’s wildlife I think The plastic water bottles in my house will end up in the ocean sadly.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose a plastic water bottle from my house. It has a recycling symbol with the number 1, meaning it’s made from PET plastic. PET is often used for drink bottles because it’s lightweight and strong. This bottle was likely made in a factory, filled, and delivered to a store where I bought it.

If I throw it in the trash, it could end up in a landfill or the ocean, taking hundreds of years to break down and possibly harming wildlife. Recycling it properly can reduce this impact.

One way to help is by using a reusable bottle instead. What surprised me most is how long plastic lasts in the environment if not recycled.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched about cans, and i learned that they are made in plastic manufacturing factories. Cans are made from aluminum, steel, or plastic. Aluminum cans decompose in about 80-200 years, steel takes about 50-100 years, and plastic takes about 450-1,000 years.

I chose a plastic botte

# data[].attributes.body
I could not find any symbols about plastic or the ingredients but i did find all the other rules written

# data[].attributes.body
i choose this because my family including I, use a plastic bag very often such as in school , in our house, and even outside! I predict that if i throw it away it will end up on the ocean. This proves that using other materials instead of plastic is better

# data[].attributes.body
I will use nova bottles more because they are recyclable and doesnt get bad fast so it will be better with the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic bottles are made of PET which is short for polyethylene terephthalate.They come from fossil fuels or natural gas and it came into my home because i bought this product. When i throw it away i think it will hi to waste lands or landfills. Uf plastic is not properly broken down in an certain environment then most of the time the environment will be damaged by the plastic and living organisms will be harmed. One way we can reduce this is by recycling the plastic we use. Thank you for reading my response and recycle .

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF PLASTICS IN THE OCEANS?

# data[].attributes.body
RESEARCH ACTIVITY

1_The product that I picked is a plastic  water bottle.

2_Plastic water bottles are made out of PET and and its recycling symbol is a triangle made out of arrows.

3_This product was most probably made to quickly sell water  just for some money  and it must’ve gotten to my  home because I was on a roadtrip and I needed some quick  water  so I bought it.

4_I think it will go to recycling  because I usually recycle  all the plastic that I use.

5_The impact on the environment will be HUGE  because this plastic  can harm animals badly  by choking them and killing  them, this mostly happens when fishers send nets into the ocean causing many animals to get caught. This is very bad because animals are very  important.

6_One suggestion  is to RECYCLE  more.

7_NOTHING  ACTUALLY.

# data[].attributes.body
The thing I chose is common thing world wide people use it but don’t realize about what happens to the environment later some people burn them air pollution some people dump them in oceans wich disturbs marine life this is why people should not use these stuff because there are big consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the Nova Water Bottle and its facts. The main way its produced is the PET production cycle. Its lifecycle is pretty long so i will shorten it to 7 things that the bottle goes through. The 7 things that the bottle are 1. Material Production 2. Bottle Manufacture 3. Water Treatment and Filling 4. Distribution and consumption 5. End of life 6. Recycling feed-in 7. Potential repetition. After I use it, it could be anywhere from the ocean, landfill, recycling centre, a plastic bag, a trashbin, or even back where it started, the factory. If not recycled or not used properly, it could kill many marine animals, plants, etc. What i found really important or interesting is the fact how many cycles these bottles can possibly go through. It can range from 0 to even 700. But that would never happen, right?

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic bottles are PET it is used for holding water in a bottle for people to drink on it is made by petrochemicals i think when we recycle it they will make toys out of it and if plastic is not recycled marine animals will be endangered and might be extinct i found where plastic is made of

# data[].attributes.body
My product is a water bottle. The symbol is PET. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is derived from crude oil and natural gas. How the PET bottle lifecycle is expected to change by 2030-2050 (e.g., circular economy, rPET adoption, chemical recycling).If plastic bottles are not thrown away correctly, they stay in nature for a very long time, hurt animals, and make the land and water dirty. One way to reduce this impact is to recycle plastic bottles so they can be made into new products instead of polluting the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I searched up about plastic bottles and it would be wayyy better to recycle then just letting it go to the ocean and let the fish die

# data[].attributes.body
One commonly used plastic product is plastic bags.

Plastic bag recycling involves collecting, sorting, and cleaning plastic films, which are then shredded into small pieces. These pieces are melted and reformed into pellets that can be used to create new products like plastic lumber or new bags.

The life cycle of a plastic bag begins with the extraction of raw materials like crude oil and natural gas, followed by manufacturing into polyethylene resins and then into finished bags. The bags are then used for a short period before being disposed of, where they enter a final phase of decomposition that can take hundreds of years, or be sent to recycling or landfills. But unfortunately most of the plastic bags are thrown away to end up at the oceans, which leads to many dramatic problems mainly in the marine life causing many animals to die choking from it. The best way to reduce the impact of this problem is by creating a huge campaign of awareness to replace plastic bags with paper bags.

# data[].attributes.body
Chosen product: Plastic water bottle (PET #1)

What is it / why used?

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is light, clear, and strong, so it’s great for drinks and safe to carry.

Lifecycle (how it got to me):

Crude oil → refinery → PET pellets → bottle factory → filled at a beverage plant → shipped to a store → I bought it and drank it.

What happens after I’m done?

If I recycle, it can be turned into new bottles or fibers. If I throw it in the trash, it may sit in a landfill for decades. If it’s littered, wind/rain can carry it into drains, rivers, and eventually the ocean.

Environmental impact if not disposed properly:

Bottles can break into microplastics that animals may swallow, harming wildlife and entering food chains. Making new plastic also uses energy and causes emissions.

One way to reduce the impact:

Refill a reusable bottle and only buy plastic bottles when necessary; always place PET in the recycling bin.

Reflection (what surprised me):

I didn’t realize one bottle can last for decades in nature and that microplastics can end up in fish—and possibly in us.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose plastic water bottle

I chose plastic water bottle because me and my family use plastic bottles basically everyday and we end up on throwing it into the trash then it ends in oceans and that can kill a lot of marine animals if we continue with this routine some of marine animals can get extinct.

plastic bags it’s a very common used thing in grocery stores and in homes it can be recycled many times and why do we use it when we can use paper bags or your on bags .

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic pollution in the ocean has severe environmental, ecological, and human consequences. Here’s a breakdown of the main effects:

🌊

1. Harm to Marine Life

Ingestion: Fish, turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals mistake plastic for food. Once ingested, plastic can cause internal injuries, block digestion, and lead to starvation.

Entanglement: Animals can become trapped in discarded fishing nets, six-pack rings, or plastic bags, leading to drowning, suffocation, or severe injury.

Bioaccumulation: Microplastics (tiny fragments <5mm) are consumed by plankton and small fish, entering the food chain and concentrating up through predators.

⚗️

2. Chemical Pollution

Plastics leach toxic chemicals such as BPA, phthalates, and flame retardants into seawater.

These chemicals can disrupt hormone systems (endocrine disruption) and harm reproductive and developmental health in marine organisms—and potentially humans.

🪸

3. Damage to Ecosystems

Coral reefs: Plastics can smother coral, block sunlight, and spread pathogens that cause coral disease.

Seafloor and beaches: Plastic debris alters habitats, suffocates bottom-dwelling organisms, and affects the physical structure of shorelines.

🧍‍♀️

4. Human Health Risks

Humans may ingest microplastics through seafood, salt, and even drinking water.

While research is ongoing, microplastics have been found in human blood and organs, raising concerns about long-term health effects.

💰

5. Economic Impact

Fishing industry: Fish stocks decline due to polluted ecosystems and contaminated catches.

Tourism: Polluted beaches and coastal areas deter visitors.

Clean-up costs: Removing plastic waste from oceans and coasts is extremely expensive and logistically difficult.

🌎

6. Long-Term Environmental Consequences

Plastic does not biodegrade; it breaks down into smaller pieces but persists for centuries.

Ocean currents form garbage patches, such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, concentrating millions of tons of waste.

Climate link: Plastic production and degradation release greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming.

Product Made of Plastic: Water Bottle

Plastic Type: PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

An overview of the research:

PET is a lightweight, durable, and transparent plastic that is used to make bottles and containers. It is preferred because it is long-lasting, safe to come into contact with food, and recyclable.

A Plastic Water Bottle's Lifecycle:

Crude oil or natural gas is converted into PET pellets at the start of the lifecycle. After being molded into bottles, these pellets are filled, packaged, and delivered to retail locations. Following purchase, the bottle is used before being recycled or dumped in a landfill.

I researched about plastic bags. People get these bags from grocery stores or supermarkets and many more when they finish with the plastic bags they throw it away where usually it leads to the oceans or seas and that is not good for the environment and the marine animals some marine animals like turtles think these plastic bags are jellyfish and they eat them and choke and that is lead to death so that is why we should not use plastic bags

# data[].attributes.body
I choose plastic water bottles, plastic water bottles is mostly used worldwide but people do not realize what happens to the environment, many people throw plastic and it ends up in the ocean and can kill marine animals, I suggest getting a water bottle that can be used many times and not only once like plastic water bottles.

I selected a product that we use everyday which is grocery plastic bag. When I inspected it, it has a small black symbol at the top stating "OXO-BIODEGRADABLE" as certified by Saudi standards, metrology and quality organization (SASO). I did some research on "OXO-BIODEGRADABLE" this kind of plastic will quickly fragment into smaller pieces called microplastics but don't breakdown completely so it will exist in the environment and contribute to the pollution.

These kind of bags are given in the supermarkets, and made by plastic factories.

If disposed, they will definitely end up in a landfills or in the oceans and will increase the pollution.

In order to protect the environment, here are some ideas:

* Use biogradable or compostable plastics which can completely breakdown.

* Use paper bags

* Ask the customers to bring their own cloth/reusable bags

* Reuse the plastic grocery bags for trash cans

* Recycle all plastic bags

# data[].attributes.body
I chose a nova water bottle, most of them can be recycled 23 times. It’s important to know that it’s better after you recycled it the most it can be recycled make a rain gauge with it or even a project for school. Usually we want to stop using plastic because of its harm but if we recycle them and make our own plastic wastes at home instead of in the environment then maybe plastic can be safe to use.This activity tought me that if you use stuff the right way they won’t be as harmful.

# data[].attributes.body
WATER BOTTLES have many symbols including numbers inside a triangle they are also usually made or manufactured in chine, United States, Asia, and in Europe water bottles can also be in my home in the fridge because that’s where I get my water supplies from. And from my prediction it will most likely end up in a landfill or ocean with a small percentage of being recycled, a short paragraph on the potential impact on the environment is by consuming large amount of fossil fuels and releasing harmful greenhouse gases, but a solution is recycling and reusing the product.

A plastic water Bottle

1. The plastic type is PET plastic

2. It came in to my home because I use plastic water bottles to drink water

3. I think it will be recycled because I usually put it somewhere where is will be recycled

4. The bottle starts as crude oil which is processed in to plastic parts then molded in to bottles if its thrown away in a landfill of ocean it could take 100s of years to dissolve

5. If plastic is thrown in ton the ocean it could effect or harm Marine wildlife or it could be in a landfill which could pollute the environment and air which could harm animals and Humans.

6. One way we could reduce plastic is by recycling plastic

7. I was surprised by how long plastic takes to dissolve and how much harm it caused to the animals

The item i chose is a Montana water bottle it is used too often in my household.

It has 1 recycling symbol and the type of plastic is tritan and it also says it also says that the water came from Italy and the brand was made in Italy. What i think would happen was if it is recycled it could be use to make other products. In my opinion if it is just thrown in the ocean or on the ground it could be dangerous because marine animals could eat it, and humans could trip and get seriously injured. A way to reduce plastic waste is actually recycle instead of just throwing it on the street. What really shocked me was that there is plastic almost everywhere u go.

My piece of plastic is a plastic bags most of them do not have any recycling symbols on them,people use plastic bags to store food and groceries ,    It’s mostly distributed by companies such as NOVA, NESTLE,etc

After its disposal most people just throw it away then it will end up in in oceans or landfills. Its impacts turtles in the Oceans and seas. One way on how to reduce the impact of plastic bags is by the government banning plastic bags. This was really fun to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic Product: Plastic Water Bottle

1. Research the Product:
The bottle is made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), a type of plastic often labeled with the recycling code1

PET is lightweight, transparent, and strong — that’s why it’s commonly used for drink bottles and food containers.

2. Trace the Lifecycle:

Manufacturing: PET plastic is made from petroleum and natural gas in factories.

Distribution: Bottles are filled at beverage plants, transported by trucks, and sold in supermarkets.

Use: The bottle is bought, used once, and often thrown away after drinking.

3. What Happens After Disposal:
If properly recycled, the bottle can be turned into new items such as clothing fibers or another bottle.
If not, it might end up in a landfill or, worse, be blown or washed into rivers and eventually the ocean.

4. Environmental Impact:
If the plastic water bottle enters the ocean, it can:

Harm marine life (fish and turtles may mistake it for food).

Break down into microplastics, which pollute the water and enter the food chain.

Take hundreds of years to fully decompose.

5. One Way to Reduce the Impact:
Use a reusable water bottle made of metal or glass instead of single-use plastic.
Also, recycle any plastic bottles correctly in designated bins.

6. Reflection:
I was surprised to learn that a single plastic bottle can last over 400 years in the environment.
It made me realize how important it is to recycle and reduce single-use plastics

# data[].attributes.body
Plastic Item: Milk bottle

It has a High density and its polyethylene.

It can be recycled 2 times according to the recycling symbol.

Life Cycle:

The plastic is melted, molded into the bottle shape, and then filled with milk. After use, they can be recycled into new products, such as more milk bottles, and are widely accepted in curbside recycling programs.

This is the proper way of disposal.

Improper Disposal & Environmental Impacts

Improper disposal of milk bottles leads to soil and water contamination. Plastic bottles can take hundreds of years to decompose, leaching harmful chemicals into the ground and water, creating microplastics that enter the food chain, and releasing toxic gases when incinerated.

One way to reduce this impact is to follow the proper disposal method of each type of plastic. Also, trying to avoid using plastic products, such as water bottles can reduce plastic garbage.

Reflection: What I found most surprising in this activity is how recyclable each plastic can be. And the importance to read recycling symbols on products that we use daily.

Thank you :D

I choose plastic bottles because me and my family use lots of plastic like drinking a plastic water bottle and throwing it in the trash. This action could cause plastic in the oceans and seas, it can also harm marine animals life by tangling them with waste and could cause to their death.

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), is one of the recycling symbols for one time use water bottles. It means that it is easily 100% recyclable. PP (Polypropylene), is found on bottle caps, and means It is recyclable.

The life cycle of a water bottle begins with raw materials like crude oil, then transformed into plastic and then into bottles. After being filled in the factory and sent to supermarkets, we buy the bottles and drink the water. We then throw the plastic bottle away, it can end up in a land for hundreds of years and harm tye nature, or it can be recycled to be made into new products like plastic bags.

If plastic water bottles are not properly disposed it can be harmful to the environmental, such as pollution, harm wildlife, and causing chemical toxicity in water and soil. Water bottles can stay in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years if they are not recycled well.

Interesting fact I have learned from this activity is that recycling one plastic water bottle can save enough energy to power a light bulb for many hours, and recycling all plastic bottles in a year can save enough energy to power a house for a year.

Chosen product: single use plastic water bottle.

Material:#2 HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Used for milk jugs, detergent, and shampoo bottles. This is a more rigid plastic that is often recyclable

Life cycle: It is made and molded in a factory, then filled, sealed, packaged and delivered to stores.

Predict after disposal:1) If you throw it in the trash then a garbage truck will come and collect the trash and dump it in the dumpster and mabye after decades it will travel to nearby rivers or oceans. 2)If you throw it in a recycling bin it will get transported to a facility and it will be shredded into small flaks which will be used to make new water bottles.

Impact: it might reach the ocean and harm marine life because it could be eaten by some animals which will cause them to die.

Suggest one way to reduce this impact: I will try to avoid using single-use plastic water bottles and use reusable water bottles instead.

Reflective: what I found most surprising is that there are symbols on single-use water bottles and they can last decades in the nature without decomposing.

Plastic water bottles are very common because many people drink water from them every day. But when we throw them away, they can cause pollution and hurt the environment. Instead of wasting them, we should recycle plastic water bottles. Recycling helps turn old bottles into new ones or other useful things. To recycle we can rinse the bottles, remove the caps, and put them in a recycling bin. This way, fewer bottles end up in landfills or the ocean and we help keep our planet clean and healthy.

Intro: Plastic can be very harmful to the environment and we need to reduce and recycle to help the environment.

I chose a water bottle because a water bottle takes extremely long to decompose and even when it decomposes, it turns into microplastic which still harm the environment and habitats. I suggest reducing and recycling, because it uses less plastic and helps the environment.

My plastic item is a plastic water bottle. It is made of R-PET plastic (Recycled PET plastic) which is strong and clean. Since this water bottle is based on the Nova water bottle, it gets delivered from trucks used to hold big water bottle packages, and transported into houses with wagons. If disposed, it will most likely end up in a landfill. Unless you use recycling bins or machines (like me), it will of course be recycled. If it was disposed of incorrectly (on the streets, beaches, floor, etc.), it will most likely end up in undesirable places over time. Such as oceans, on the road, etc. The environment will get worse even if you don't notice it, since a lot more people than you expect probably also throw plastic materials (or any other one use item, for that matter) in incorrect places. The environmental impacts can include water pollution, marine animals death and non pleasant driving. One of the many other ways (and the most obvious one) is to keep it until you find a bin (preferably a recycle one) and throw it in there. It is very simple and helpful. It sometimes astonishes me how careless people are towards our environment.

I want

to know about plastic bottles. They can last a long time because of recycling but some people don’t want to recycle and think they are cooler then every one so they throw it in the ocean . Well I think there is a lot of solutions to stop throwing plastic in the ocean but there is one that stands out the most which is recycling, and the thing I found most surprising is how they aren’t recycling because they just want every marine life animal to die.

Plastic bottles are very dangerous for animals in the ocean because they will mistake it for food and then it will get caught up in their throat, we have to recycle all of the harmful products like plastic bags, plastic bottles, and much more. So the moral of this paragraph is to learn to recycle and throw plastic products into the correct bin.

Plastic waste pollutes the environment and harms animal. Recycling ♻️ helps reduce this impact by reusing plastic instead of throwing it away.For example a metal water bottle

The product that I will talk about is plastic water bottles. There is a recycling symbol 1 which says it is made from PET. PET is durable and not expensive. The bottle begins as crude oil, then melted and molded into bottles then filled up with water. After use, it can be collected, cleaned and reprocessed into a new product. But most of the time it ends up in trash and cause plastic pollution. It also causes environmental damage. In oceans, it breaks into microplastics which harm animals and our food. To reduce this pollution we should resuse and recycle the bottles or replace it with glass bottles. I learned that 30% of PET bottles are recycled worldwide.
