Single-use items, also known as disposables, are products designed to be used once and then discarded. Common examples include plastic utensils, straws, and food packaging. These items are convenient for quick meals and events but contribute significantly to waste and environmental pollution. The widespread use of single-use items has raised concerns about their impact on the environment. Many of these products are made from materials like plastic, which can take hundreds of years to decompose. As a result, there is a growing movement towards reducing disposables and promoting alternatives, such as reusable containers and utensils.
