One way to prevent the problem is plastic companies switching from non harmful chemicals in the plastic materials. Some chemicals are needed to keep things fresh which is the whole point of plastic but some chemicals are completely unnecessary and can be taken out of the products. BPA is a very harmful chemical that is in some but not all plastic products. A way to avoid this is when you buy a plastic product it would say BPA free. When the unnecessary chemicals are taken out the plastic that can just go to recyclable instead of getting thrown out because that's what happens when the products are contaminated with harmful chemicals.

Some problems with plastic is that not all of the plastic people recycle is recyclable and after its decided whether or not it is recyclable then it just goes to the landfill and sits with all of the other trash. Another problem with the plastic is that when cloths go into the wash that contain plastic fibers it carries through with the water it was used to wash with and then the water in contaminated.
