The problem is caused by the
fact that plastics are biologically
recent developments, and hence
are" nit easily _degradable• by
micro-organisms . 'which, attack
most other forms of 'organic
matter and return them to the
biological life cycle.
It may take millions of years
for organisms to evolve which
are capable of performing this
function. In the ' meantime,.
plastic containers and packaging
films are beginning to litter our
beaches and forests after being
discarded by careless , campers
and picknickers. ,
Plastics are 'made up of giant
molecules, known as
"macromolecules", -the' atoms of

long string of beads. The' chains
intertwine and fold back on
themselves to give the plastic its
rigidity an'd toughness. How;ever,
toughness depends on the
