These films do not decompose, but break into pieces under the influence of sunlight, Eco-Service reports on Facebook.
The report emphasized that microplastic particles do not decompose in nature for thousands of years.
It is noted that for processing at the address of st. Lukyanenko (Vatutina), 19, you can bring films without food residues, liquids, paper and tape.
