People discover various materials from time to that break the boundaries of traditional materials. Plastic is a revolutionized material, and referred as "a material with 1,000 uses". This review summarized up-to-date research on plastic its waste pollution. has domain throughout human life versatile properties such lightweight, high durability, flexibility, low production cost. article describes applications, benefits, production, consumption, classifications plastics. commercialization began Second World War grew all over world within less than century. The global annual more 359 million tons. Despite plastics cause severe environmental public health issues. Accordingly, this study addresses major issues environment health. Plastics can degrade into micro nano sizes, those fine particles are spreadable in air, water, soil. Therefore, both terrestrial aquatic animals go through negative impacts ingestion, entangling, ulcers, reproduction, oxidative stress. Microplastics also due cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, birth defects, cancer, etc. closing contains developed end-of-life options (e.g., recycling reprocessing, incineration energy recovery, modification reuse, value addition, landfilling) biodegradable non-biodegradable wastes. Several international, regional/national level legislations policies/concepts trade, 3R policy, circular economy) available manage generation. management discussed offering practical insights real-world scenarios. Solutions challenges effective guide create sustainable environmentally responsible approach. Finally, highlights importance judicious decisions involvement stakeholders overcome crisis.

One of the main environmentally threatening factors is plastic waste which generates in great quantity and causes severe damage to both inhabitants environment. Commonly, generated on land ends up water bodies, resulting detrimental solid impacts aquatics via poisoning flooding marine ecosystem. Exploring various approaches convert wastes into new products known as an efficient way manage them enhance sustainability environment, discussed this article. Moreover, limitation application for construction purposes also considered. It wind that usage will significantly rectify our environment be regarded a trustworthy source materials applying conventional such concrete asphalt.

Bearing in mind the aspiration of world economy to create as complete a closed loop raw materials and energy possible, it is important know individual links such system systematise knowledge. Polymer materials, especially poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), are considered harmful environment by large part society. The work presents literature review on mechanical feedstock recycling. advantages disadvantages various recycling methods their development perspectives presented. general characteristics PVC also described. In conclusion, stated that there currently high possibilities for material intensive underway Based review, was found certainly meets requirements involved circular economy.

The excessive amount of global plastic produced over the past century, together with poor waste management, has raised concerns about environmental sustainability. Plastic recycling become a practical approach for diminishing and maintaining sustainability among management methods. Chemical mechanical are typical approaches to waste, simple process, low cost, environmentally friendly potential profitability. Several materials, such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyurethanes, can be recycled chemical approaches. Nevertheless, due waste’s varying physical properties, separation becomes challenge. Hence, reliable effective technology is critical increasing value rate. Integrating technologies would an efficient method reducing accumulation contaminants by especially in industrial uses. This review addresses recent advances technology, mainly recycling. article also discusses current various materials.

Plastic litter is on the rise where plastic waste ends up in undesignated areas such as coastal shorelines, exposed to environmental conditions. As a result, degradation and decomposition of plastics occur, leading formation smaller fragments plastics, termed microplastics. Microplastics have recently been considered an emerging class contaminants due their ecotoxicological impact aquatic environment well soil matrix. are size less than 5 mm produced from either primary source (such pellets, beads makeup products) or secondary wear tear normal-use washing clothes textiles). Microplastic pollution spread across hydrosphere, pedosphere, atmosphere, these zones being studied for microplastic accumulation individually. However, there exists source–sink dynamic between compartments. This study reviews available literature research discusses current state fate transport explores microplastics communities, provides prospective future directions management strategies control pollution. While hydrosphere well-documented researched, studies understanding mechanism pedosphere atmosphere remain poorly understood.

Versatility and desirable attributes of synthetic plastics have greatly contributed towards their wide applications. However, vast accumulation plastic wastes in environment as a result highly recalcitrant nature has given rise to pollution. Existing strategies alleviating are inadequate, there is pressing need for alternative sustainable approaches tackling In this context, biodegradation emerged environmental-friendly approach handling accumulation, due its milder less energy-intensive conditions. recent years, extensive research effort focused on the identification microorganisms enzymes with plastic-degrading abilities. This review aims provide timely holistic view current status biodegradation, focusing breakthroughs discoveries field. Furthermore, challenges associated discussed, future perspectives continuous advancement highlighted.

Plastic production and its unplanned management disposal, has been shown to pollute terrestrial, aquatic, atmospheric environments. Petroleum-derived plastics do not decompose tend persist in the surrounding environment for longer time. Plastics can be ingested accumulate into tissues of both terrestrial aquatic animals, which impede their growth development. Petrochemicals are primary feedstocks manufacture plastics. The plastic wastes retrieved back conversion value added petrochemicals including aromatic char, hydrogen, synthesis gas, bio-crude oil using various technologies thermochemical, catalytic chemolysis. This review focusses on technologies, opportunities, challenges outlooks retrieving petrochemicals. also explores technical approaches regard commercial feasibility, economic environmental sustainability. Further, this work provides a detailed discussion opportunities associated with recent thermochemical adopted waste fuels chemicals. recommends prospects future research improve processes cost-efficiency promising It is envisioned that would overcomes knowledge gaps further contribute emerging sustainable exploiting value-added products.
