Issue of Plastic Waste

  • As plastic does not break down naturally, it is polluting natural systems, including rivers and oceans. The production, use and disposal of plastics also creates significant greenhouse gas emissions throughout the different stages of the plastic value chain.
  • It has been observed that disposal of plastic waste is a serious concern due to improper collection and segregation system. Only 60% of the plastic produced is recycled, balance 9400 Tonnes of plastic is left unattended in environment causing land, air and water pollution.
  • These small plastic particles can enter the food chain through seafood and other sources. The health impacts of ingesting microplastics are not yet fully understood but could include chemical contamination and physical damage to tissues.
  • Plastics can release harmful chemicals, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, which can leach into food and water supplies and are linked to various health issues, including hormonal disruption and cancer.
  • Marine animals often ingest plastic debris, mistaking it for food. This can lead to malnutrition, intestinal blockage, and death. Entanglement in plastic waste is also a common cause of injury and death for marine species.
  • Plastic waste can disrupt ecosystems by harming wildlife and altering natural processes. For example, plastic can smother coral reefs and reduce their ability to recover from other stresses.
