According to the United Nations environmental plan continues to increase 500 billion copies a year. The pet bottle is consumed one million per minute as a beverage container.

The shopping bag used in the convenience store has increased recently, too. Though it is a developing country to put out a lot of plastic garbage, China which has imported the waste plastic of the developed country up to now also started the restriction.
