Rather than they have a tendency of blocking and choking pipelines, drains and other places. They are also one of the main source of soil pollution. To combat all these issues, great emphasis is being laid on the use of eco-friendly materials. They are biodegradable and as a result environment-friendly in nature. The use of such materials is commonly seen in the packaging industry.
