Correlation Analysis and Countermeasure Research of Mismanaged Plastic Waste
Summary
This study used statistical modeling to analyze the factors driving mismanaged plastic waste globally, finding that high-income countries and regions with high international tourist flows contribute disproportionately to plastic waste that pollutes marine environments. The authors recommend economic incentives and stronger responsibility frameworks for these higher-income contexts.
Poor management of plastic waste will endanger the marine environment, species diversity and human food chain with unknown consequences. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to identify the places where Mismanaged Plastic Waste (MPW) is growing rapidly, then take timely measures. This paper makes the correlation analysis and establishment of regression model of MPW which could measure and predict the variation of MPW through STATA software. The results show that high-income countries and countries with large flow of international tourists need to strengthen the sense of responsibility for plastic recycling and comprehensively use economic means to control tourism behavior.
