Plastic Waste and their Management
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviews the major types of plastic waste and evaluates current management strategies for reducing their environmental impact. It examines challenges across the plastic waste lifecycle, from collection and sorting to recycling and disposal. The authors highlight gaps in existing frameworks and propose improvements to move toward more sustainable plastic waste systems.
The plastic waste is a serious issue globally. The management of plastic wastes requires urgent solution. The biologicalapproach for the plastic waste management is eco-friendly and economical. The microorganisms can degrade the plastics,which is economical and sustainable approach. The plastic generation types and their management is taken into considerationin this article. The different methods of processing of plastics are also described. The chapter will help to understand the needfor plastic waste management.

A Study On Relationship Between Recycling Plastic And Proper Disposal
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the ingestion of microplastics by zooplankton in a freshwater lake during different seasonal conditions. Ingestion rates were highest when phytoplankton density was low, suggesting that zooplankton are more likely to accidentally consume microplastics when natural food is scarce, with seasonal dynamics influencing microplastic exposure risk.
