Plastic packaging refers to materials made from synthetic polymers used to enclose and protect products. It is commonly used in various industries, including food, cosmetics, and electronics, due to its lightweight, durability, and versatility. Plastic packaging can come in many forms, such as bags, bottles, containers, and wraps, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. One of the main advantages of plastic packaging is its ability to preserve products and extend shelf life, which helps reduce food waste. However, concerns about environmental impact have led to increased scrutiny of plastic use, prompting discussions about recycling and alternatives like biodegradable materials and reusable containers.
