The impact of plastic waste on terrestrial ecosystems is profound and detrimental. As plastic waste accumulates in environments, it disrupts habitats, harming wildlife through ingestion or entanglement. Microplastics can contaminate soil and water, affecting plant health and potentially entering the food chain. The chemical additives in plastics may leach into the environment, posing serious risks to both fauna and flora. Moreover, plastic pollution can lead to reduced biodiversity and altered ecosystem functions, ultimately disrupting essential ecological processes and threatening long-term sustainability.
