Potential consequences of using plastics and other disposable materials that have not been recycled include pollution of our air, land, and water, contamination of soil and flora and fauna, and potential health risks to humans due to exposure to chemicals from the plastic and other disposable materials. Furthermore, the accumulation of these disposable materials in our environment can also lead to excess waste disposal and an increase in landfill areas.
