The plastics industry is worse than the aerospace industry, research shows

California: The airline industry is known for releasing thousands of tons of greenhouse gases into the Earth’s atmosphere every year, but a new study has found that the plastics industry is many times worse.

Scientists from California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have stated in a study that the plastic industry emits 2.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, while the airline industry emits one billion tons of carbon dioxide.

According to scientists, most of the news about plastic waste is about its polluting the oceans or the human body. But plastic also causes dangerous amounts of greenhouse gases.

Global plastic production pollutes the environment as much as 600 coal-fired power plants.

Researchers in the study, funded by the US government, said the production of most plastics is expected to increase, tripling the climate change crisis, harming biodiversity and polluting the planet. Will take it to the limits.

According to industry analysts, the production of plastic is expected to double by 2050, due to which the impact of plastic on the environment will increase in the coming decades. If this happens, it is quite possible that the resulting global warming will cause a loss of 38 thousand billion dollars.
