Plastic is an non-renewable, non-biodegradable material that accumulates in large quantities in the environment, some of the most visible impacts of this material are the effects in the marine environment and wildlife, being responsible for the suffocation and entanglement of several marine organisms. Because it is a material that is difficult to decompose most of the plastic waste is accumulated and causes more trouble to the environment and the living organisms.
