Enhancing Public Awareness: Media Sensitization about Polymers in Daily Life for Sustainable Living
Abstract Considering the widespread presence of polymers in everyday life, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of their effects on the environment, health, and the promotion of sustainable living. The current study aims to investigate and assess the efficacy of media in raising awareness among the general population regarding the widespread existence and importance of polymers in everyday life. Given the wide range of uses in modern living, such as packaging materials and medical equipment, it is vital to have a thorough grasp and appreciation of the function that polymers play in the daily life. The study aims to evaluate the influence of media in boosting awareness, correcting misunderstandings, breaking myths related to the use of, and encouraging responsible utilization of polymer‐based products. The study also attempts to get insights into the influence of media on public attitudes and behaviors related to polymer usage.
