The correct answers are "As trash, synthetic polymers are not biodegradable", "Landfills can easily fill up with synthetic polymers" and "Recycling synthetic polymers is costly".

Explanation:

Synthetic polymers are not biodegradable because of their inorganic composition, so one of the main problems they present is that landfills can easily be filled with synthetic polymers and hinder or block the passage of wastewater or irrigation water. Finally, it should be noted that the recycling of synthetic polymers is expensive since a recycling plant must be created to treat, compact and reuse them.

Have a nice day!
