The Environmental Challenges of Polythene and Production and Prevention Legislation in the World
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the global environmental impact of polythene plastic pollution, discussing its effects on aquatic ecosystems and public health while analyzing the international and regional legislative frameworks aimed at reducing plastic production and use.
Plastic pollution is one of the major environmental concerns of the twenty-first century. It has an impact on the global environment and will eventually have an impact on every walk of life. Plastic pollution is not an issue of one state or region, but it is a global issue. Human intellectuals and states all have the duty to give alternate option to stop plastic pollution locally and internationally. Aquatic pollution due to plastic waste is a worldwide challenge causing adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystems and public health. In this paper, plastic pollution, production, usage, our ocean, the producer, and the legal framework for the control of plastic use or plastic pollution globally as well regionally will be discussed. It also focuses the effects of plastic pollution on our environment, especially on marine creatures as it can be hurt either by mechanical impacts, physiological problems linked to ingesting plastic garbage, or being exposed to synthetic compounds introduced into plastics.

The Role of Legislation, Regulatory Initiatives and Guidelines on the Control of Plastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines existing plastic pollution regulations globally, finding that despite many proposals and national bans, the overall effectiveness of legislation is unclear and most measures focus narrowly on marine plastics or single-use items. The authors argue that laws often lag behind science and face practical limitations given how deeply embedded plastics are in daily life.
Legislation to limit the environmental plastic and microplastic pollution and their influence on human exposure
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys global legislation aimed at limiting plastic and microplastic pollution, including bans on single-use items, recycling mandates, and clean-up initiatives across different countries. The study also discusses how these regulations may help reduce human exposure to plastics and their associated toxic chemicals, though enforcement and scope remain uneven worldwide.
Marine plastic pollution governance: the role and challenges of international law
AI summary Read the abstract
A review of international legal frameworks for marine plastic pollution finds current governance fragmented and inadequate, calling for a lifecycle-based international legal regime to address the full chain of plastic production, use, and disposal. Strengthening international law is essential for systemic microplastic reduction, as ocean connectivity means that plastic—and the microplastics it becomes—cannot be managed effectively by individual nations alone.
