El fantástico plástico

The video discusses the nature of plastics, which are synthetic materials made from petrochemicals. Plastics are durable due to their polymer structure, making them non-biodegradable and harmful to the environment. The video highlights the massive consumption of plastic bags and their environmental impact. It introduces bioplastics, made from natural materials, as a sustainable alternative that is biodegradable. However, bioplastics are not yet widely available, so reducing, recycling, and safe disposal of plastics are essential interim solutions.
