One solution to the environmental disaster of plastic pollution is so-called biodegradable plastic. There are two types currently on the market: plant-based hydro-biodegradable plastic and petroleum-based oxo-biodegradable plastic.
In the former category, polylactic acid (PLA), a plastic made from corn, tops the list as the most talked-about alternative. PLA decomposes into water and carbon dioxide in 47 to 90 days — four times faster than a PET-based bag floating in the ocean.
But conditions must be just right to achieve these kinds of results. PLA breaks down most efficiently in commercial composting facilities at high temperatures. When buried in a landfill, a plastic bag made from corn may remain intact just as long as the one made from oil or natural gas.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 28 to 32.
The pollution of our atmosphere arises from human activities, notably the emission of greenhouse gases through actions like agriculture, transportation, industry and household operations. Waste disposal also contributes significantly. Air pollution has a tremendous impact on human health and nature.
About 50 per cent of the world’s waste is not managed properly. Unfortunately, a part of this mismanagement involves open dumping and burning. When waste is disposed of in this manner, it releases harmful substances into the air. This can significantly impact both our health and the environment, making it difficult to breathe, and worsening existing health problems. That’s why we need to manage our waste properly by recycling, composting, and safely treating waste.
Informal workers in the waste management sector, including children, are sometimes hired to collect, sort or dispose of waste in unsafe conditions. When waste is managed in an unsafe manner, it can release toxic chemicals into the air and water, putting these workers and their communities at risk. When UNEP assists local waste management teams in improving their practices, it directly benefits these informal workers and their families and communities as well.
When it comes to waste management, it’s not only up to individuals. Companies and governments also make a significant impact. Companies can use less packaging and create products with reduced waste. They can design their products to be easily recycled, and support regulations for improved waste management. Governments also play a crucial role. They can establish strong regulations to prevent dumping and burning. By investing in better waste handling methods, they contribute to everyone breathing cleaner air and enjoying a safer environment.
