The raw materials used to produce them can get extinct, and disposing of synthetic polymers is a very difficult and time-consuming task. If proper care is not taken, it can result in environmental degradation.
Many synthetic polymers' most wanted feature is their chemical inertness, their resistance to various kinds of chemical degradation. This same property, also means they last a long time once they are thrown away which is very harmful to the environment and hence should be taken care of. If these strong polymers are not disposed of properly, it can cause many complications.
