The production, use, and disposal of plastics contribute to climate change through various mechanisms, including the extraction and processing of fossil fuels for plastic production, energy-intensive manufacturing processes, emissions from incineration and landfilling, and the release of methane and other greenhouse gases from decomposing plastics. Additionally, plastic production is projected to increase in the coming years, exacerbating its carbon footprint and environmental impacts.
