Abstract
Plastic is a kind of material that is commonly known and used in everyday life in many forms. It becomes a very important part of each one’s life. Increasing population and also the growth of producing sectors in developing countries have inflated the demand for plastic production. In proportion to the expansion of plastic trade, generation of plastic waste is additionally increasing. However, recovery and recycling of this waste was not sufficient resulting in the buildup of those plastics in landfills and oceans per annum. Plastic become a major environmental pollutant of present time. Being composed of toxic chemicals and most significantly a non-biodegradable substance, plastic pollutes earth and ends up in soil and water pollution. Various toxic substances releasing from plastic degradation and these pollutant was consumed by plankton and other minor invertebrates, thus becoming part of food chain, reaching humans in the end. According to the varied studies of wide unfold presence of plastics, in several compartment of ecosystem its potential that organisms in terrestrial and fresh can en-counter plastic particles. These contaminants usually have well known generative, cancer, and agent effects. The government, law implementing agencies and health authorities of the country ought to take a lot of steps for sustainable production and proper disposal of plastic wastes
