Answer:

Yes, but the process is too slow

Step-by-step explanation:

We pack almost everything in this material and plastic has become a very normal occurrence in the modern world. Each year, people used 1.6 million barrels of oil just to make plastic bottles.

On the other hand, nature takes about 1000 years to develop a single plastic object, while plastic material takes about 240 years.
