       White pollution, a hundred years of war

       White pollution is an image of people who are difficult to
       degrade the plastic garbage (multi-fingered plastic bags) which
       pollute the environment. It refers to the use of polystyrene,
       polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and other polymer compounds
       made of various types of living plastic products used to be
       discarded into solid waste, due to random chaos throw, it is
       difficult to degrade treatment, resulting in serious
       environmental pollution phenomenon.
       According to statistics, people in their daily lives about 92%
       of the plastic products are polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene
       (PP). The former is often used as shopping bags, food bags and
       industrial and agricultural films, the latter is mainly used for
       packaging textiles, needle cotton products, clothing, shirts and
       so on. The plastic mentioned in this paper is polyethylene.
       Polyethylene occupies 40% of the total production of plastic
       products. Each year, the world produces about 80 million tons of
       polyethylene, people want to use about 1 trillion plastic bags.
       Although the use of polyethylene in people's daily lives is so
       common that it is often overlooked, it poses a serious burden on
       the ecological environment, especially the marine ecological
       environment.
       In the EU-27 and Norway and Switzerland, 38% of the plastic
       products are directly landfilled. In 2014, the US Environmental
       Protection Agency data show that when the United States produced
       a total of 33.25 million tons of plastic products, of which only
       9.5% were recycled, and another 15% were burned, the remaining
       75.5% were landfill.
       These are directly discarded polyethylene products are very
       difficult to degrade. Low-density polyethylene plastic bags take
       about 100 years to fully degrade, and the most stubborn
       polyethylene even takes 400 years to degrade. They are piled in
       the ecological environment, blocking the ecological cycle, so
       that other biological overwhelmed.
       It is reported that about 8 million tons of plastic waste into
       the ocean every year. If you do not take effective measures to
       control, by 2025, the total amount of plastic waste in the ocean
       will reach 155 million tons, and by 2050, the weight of plastic
       waste in the ocean will exceed the sum of fish. So, plastic
       recycling such as

       />polyethylene recycling is necessary.
