Which links in the production process of Plastic Products have the greatest impact on the environment?

The impact of Plastic Products on the environment in the production process is multifaceted, and several key links are particularly significant.
The main raw materials of plastics are fossil fuels such as petroleum, and the mining, processing and transportation processes themselves put tremendous pressure on the environment. The consumption of petroleum resources has not only exacerbated the global energy crisis, but also the greenhouse gas emissions generated during its mining and processing have exacerbated global climate change.
The production process of Plastic Products requires a large amount of water resources. This includes not only the processing and cooling of raw materials, but also the cleaning and maintenance of equipment. The consumption of a large amount of water resources may lead to local water shortages, especially in areas where water resources are scarce. In addition, the wastewater generated in the production process contains harmful substances. If it is directly discharged without proper treatment, it will pollute the water body.
The production of Plastic Products also produces a large amount of solid waste and harmful gases. If the waste, wastewater and waste gas in the production process are not treated, it will seriously pollute the soil, water and atmosphere. Plastic waste is difficult to degrade in the natural environment. Long-term accumulation will destroy the soil structure, affect plant growth, and cause harm to organisms through the food chain. At the same time, harmful gas emissions during the production process will also pollute the atmospheric environment and affect air quality.
In order to reduce the impact of Plastic Products production on the environment, people are actively seeking solutions. On the one hand, promoting the use of degradable plastics and recycling waste plastics is an effective way to reduce environmental pollution. On the other hand, strengthening environmental management of the production process, improving resource utilization efficiency, and reducing waste and harmful gas emissions are also essential measures.
In summary, the production process of Plastic Products has caused many impacts on the environment, but as long as we actively take effective measures, we can minimize these impacts and achieve sustainable development of the plastic industry.
