Management of the Plastic Waste Towards Sustainability Goal for Circular Economy
Plastics are being produced, used, and deposited in the environment at an exponential rate worldwide. Furthermore, improper handling of plastic garbage raised concerns about pollution. The management of plastic garbage is a global problem and a bigger obstacle to the sustainable survival of the developing nations with a significant amount of this waste. A circular economy can increase the formation of new value-added materials while reducing environmental degradation throughout the system. This study has explored the potential use of waste plastic in many areas, including building construction, sports and automotive components, and energy production. In this report the waste management of plastics is narrated with respect to the sustainability and circular economy.
