Question

Instead of using plastics, this/these can be used to avoid pollution:
A. Jute bags
B. Paper bags
C. Cloth bags
D. Poly bags

Answer 1

Hint: Plastic is a non-biodegradable waste and cannot be handled easily and takes a lot of time to decompose in nature by the natural process by microorganisms. The burning of plastic produces more pollutants into the environment.

Complete step by step solution:
- In the question it is given that instead of plastic what we can use to avoid pollution form the given options.
- Coming to given options, option A, Jute bags. We can use jute bags in place of plastic because jute bags are made of biodegradable polymers. So, option A is correct.
- Coming to option B, Paper bags. Again paper bags are also biodegradable in nature by the microorganisms so the option B is also correct.
- Coming to option C, Cloth bags. Cloth bags are also made up of biodegradable polymers. So paper bags also we can use in place of plastic.
- Coming to option D, Poly bags. Poly bags are not advised to use because they cannot be digested by the microorganisms means poly bags are non-biodegradable polymers. So option D is wrong.
- Therefore we can use jute bags, paper bags, and cloth bags in place of plastic to avoid pollution.
So, the correct answer is “Option A,B and C”.

Note: Plastic takes hundreds of years to miscible in nature. But biodegradable polymers will miscible in nature in less time without causing any pollution to the environment. Cloth bags have more advantage than plastic bags like we can carry more weight in cloth bags when compared to plastic bags.
