Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular thermoplastic materials that have found such applications polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and polystyrene (PS). Unfortunately, plastic is disposable. As a consequence, significant amounts of waste generated, entering environment, undergoing degradation processes. They can occur under influence mechanical forces, temperature, light, chemical, biological factors. These factors present synergistic or antagonistic effects. result their action, microplastics formed, which undergo further fragmentation decomposition into small-molecule compounds. During process, various additives at plastics' processing stage also be released. Both negatively affect human animal health. Determination negative consequences on environment health not possible without knowing course processes products. In this article, we sources microplastics, causes places formation, transport particles, plastics often production storage, affecting said its
