Plastic waste is improperly disposing of plastic objects (bottles, bags, packaging material including thermocol etc.) in the environment which adversely affects flora and fauna.
Plastic can take up to 500 years to bio-degrade, which means that it can impact the environment adversely if not recycled responsibly. The environment is impacted in the following manner:
(i) Burning of plastic waste emits toxic gases
(ii) Plastic waste thrown on land makes the land infertile and pollutes groundwater
(iii) Plastic waste flows into oceans and adversely impacts marine life
(iv)Littered plastic waste gives unaesthetic look and choke drains during the monsoon season.
