Plastic bomb waste.
In the photo above, you can see a plastic bag, plastic bottle and plastic straw. All these items are single-use plastic while on the other side you can see a cloth bag, glass cup, metal straw, metal fork and glass bottle. All these are not plastic!
Examples of plastic include: plastic forks and knives, plastic bags, plastic coffee cup lids, plastic bottles, Styrofoam and of course, plastic straws. As Mr Borg, Assistant Head of Dingli Primary School said: “We encourage children in our school to use reusable cups and containers for their lunch”. I agree with him because there are some children who use single-use plastic.
