Answer:

1.Pollution: produced when plastics are manufactured.

2.Recycling is expensive and relative: once plastic has been recycled it can not be used again for human consumption.

3. Permanence and take up a lot of space: Some plastics take hundreds of years to disappear and keep garbage dumps full.

Explanation:

Plastics are materials that by their composition can change shape and preserve it permanently, since they are polymers formed by long chains of repeated, synthetic molecules, with a large number of applications or uses. Their indiscriminate usage and lack of recycling culture have created the mentioned environmental inconveniences.
