Plastics' response to sunlight is far from straightforward. They can become brittle over time, with the rate of change varying among different types.

Some plastics endure for decades, while others, like plastic bags, become brittle more rapidly. 🛍️

The properties of plastics evolve with time, adding a layer of complexity to the challenge.

We typically expect solid materials to maintain consistent properties, but plastics are constantly evolving. It's more of a chemistry puzzle! 🧪
