Question

What is the eventual fate of many discarded water bottles

Answer 1

The eventual fate of many discarded water bottles is that they end up in streams, lakes, oceans, seas, and other bodies of water. And because the bottles are made of non-biodegradable plastic, they take a long time to break down. From there, they either pollute or kill. This is why we should not pollute, we can kill our planet. Just don't do it. :)

Answer 2

Prime cause of solid waste.

Step-by-step explanation:

The water bottles are generally made up of PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

PET is a non biodegradable plastic.

So when we discard a water bottle randomly, it may find places like soil, rivers, lake, oceans etc.

The nature is not able to degrade the PET polymer and hence the water bottles remain their and cause solid waste problem or solid waste pollution.

The eventual fate is cause of pollution.

They may cause serious problems in the BOD of water resources as they may float over the water surface.

They may enter in the body of animals feeding on the soil (like cow feeding on waste material) or aquatic animals like fishes.
