Introduction:

Accumulation of plastics in the environment results in Plastic Pollution, which causes an imbalance in the ecological cycle. Plastic products take around 450 years for decomposing and after that approximately 50 years to decay. Hence, we can state that a plastic product takes about 500 years to decompose.

The first plastic was invented in the year 1862, which means that no plastic product has ever been made on the earth has completely decomposed yet. Most of them have not even started to decompose.

Effects of plastic:

1. Littering of plastics in open spaces creates unhygienic conditions, as it acts as a breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes that cause diseases like malaria and dengue.
2. Plastics do not undergo degradation, thus, stay in the soil for many years, which affects soil fertility and degrades the soil quality.
3. When plastic artifacts enter the drainage and sewerage system, they block the pipes and the drains causing waterlogging.
4. The improperly disposed of food bags, when eaten by animals, cause stomach and intestine related disease which even lead to suffocation and death.
5. Plastic items find their way to the river and other water bodies, which are then swallowed by fish, seabirds, and other marine species, thus leading to suffocation and death.
6. The waste from the plastic manufacturing industry is thrown directly into the water bodies, thus affecting the chemical property of water, causing hazards on a very large-scale.
7. Proper disposal and usage of plastic discards can reduce these problems. A set of regulations should necessarily be followed to stop these problems

Management of plastic:

There are primarily three ways of managing the plastics:

Reduce

Recycle

Reuse

Reduce

• This refers to the reduction or decreased consumptions of plastic artifacts.

• We can reduce the use of plastic bags and carry jute bags and paper bags to carry items from the market.
• We can avoid using takeaway food containers.

Reuse

• We can use discarded bottles and jars to store food items and water.
• We can reuse the plastic bags whenever possible, keeping safety and hygiene in mind.

Recycle

• We can give the old plastic chairs and jars for a recycle and support the cause by using recycled items.
• We can try using recyclable plastic bags whenever possible.
• By not burning plastics or other garbage

Conclusion:

Proper disposal and usage of plastic discards can reduce these problems. A set of regulations should necessarily be followed to stop these problems.Plastics, supposed to be a boon to the environment is now becoming a bane.
