Its decomposition usually takes 10 to 1000 years depending on its thickness. Its frequent consumption leads to environmental catastrophe and should be banned and replaced with biodegradable material. In 2018 National Geographic launched an international campaign “Planet or Plastic,” in more than 20 countries, aiming to reduce the amount of singe-use plastics that end up in the ocean.
