Plastic has become an integral part of our daily lives. From packaging to household items to clothing, plastic finds applications in almost every sector. However, with increased plastic production and consumption, plastic waste generation is also registering alarming rise. Improper plastic waste disposal is taking a toll on the environment and public health. This article examines the various issues related to plastic waste and discusses potential solutions for effective Plastic Waste Management

Need for organized plastic waste management

The widespread use of plastics has made plastic waste one of the major components of municipal solid waste. As plastic is a non-biodegradable material, it persists in the environment for a very long time causing pollution. Most of the plastic waste is either burned or dumped in landfills. Unscientific burning of plastic releases toxic fumes into the air. Plastic in landfills also releases greenhouse gases like methane further exacerbating global warming. Plastic litters roads, drains, rivers, oceans and other public places making them unsuitable for their intended purpose. Choked drains result in flooding while entry of plastic into water bodies harms aquatic life.

Challenges in plastic waste management

Developing countries face several challenges in managing plastic waste properly. Lack of segregation of waste at source makes post-collection processing difficult. Most urban local bodies lack necessary infrastructure for waste segregation, recycling, and waste-to-energy projects. Unorganized sector dominates plastic waste recycling resulting in unhygienic and harmful recycling practices. Limited availability of recycling technology further affects plastic recycling. Lack of awareness among citizens regarding segregation of waste, use of alternatives to plastic also pose hindrances. Plastic import in the form of finished goods is also rising adding to the waste generation. These challenges must be addressed through co-operation between stakeholders.
