Abstract: Plastic waste means any plastic discarded after use or after their intended use is over. Plastic wastes are rapidly produced and exposed at a high rate due to the world's industrial development and population growth. Both biodegradable and non-degradable wastes are highly generated from man-made activities (operational sectors and climatic conditions, industrial growth, socio-economic development) and the natural processes of living creatures. Government municipalities, social communities, and local authorities have established different measures and environmental safety legislation rules that can guide the population to dispose of plastic waste after utilization. In these waste management strategies, several are scientifically based, such as recycling, incineration, and landfills. These methods are established to have a clean environment and good plastic waste disposal.. The Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 have to be followed for the safe disposal of plastic wastes.
