From shampoo bottles to food wrappers, plastic products are prevalent throughout our daily lives and the frequency of these single-use plastics continues to increase at alarming rates. While there are alternatives gradually being implemented, the UN reports approximately 400 million tons of plastic waste being produced every year. One of the major contributors to single use plastic waste are polyethylenes. Polyethylenes create many of the world's most common single-use plastic products, one being plastic grocery bags. Since plastic does not decompose and takes up to hundreds of years to even break down, the continued use and disposal of these plastics endangers our environment.
