How many times can we recycle plastic?

           Many plastic companies assure us that the plastic they produce can be recycled. But this is not always possible. Generally, plastic cannot be recycled more than three to four times.

           Plastics that cannot be recycled usually end up in dump yards. These plastics react with the ground leading to the release of toxic substances which pollute the ground. If they are burned, plastic creates another set of health and environmental hazards. Sometimes, they are thrown away into drainages thus leading to a different issue of waste management.
