Plastic derives its name from the Greek term ‘Plastics’ which means capable of being shaped or mounded. The inventor of plastics never known the time of his invention the impact of plastics in the entire Earth. It is one of important primary need of people in day today life for all purpose using in different types of plastics materials. Plastics productions are more and more and appropriate disposable is troubling issues. Re usable of plastics products also not effective and byproducts of plastics can reusable of new plastic products and value of worth of money never aware by the people. The alternative commercial products for plastics manufacturing is very less and expensive to avail for use. There is no alternative for every products of plastics. It is developing field and trying to adopt few traditional practices such as leaf plates, mud glass and other newer products are trials for regular use. The entire Earth is filled as multilayered plastic sheets it affects the ground water, surface water and pollute the environment and health of living beings. For immediate step to prevent the worsen of plastic accumulation is reuse of plastics. Change the practice to use plastic plates and cups in daily life. Use of individual plate, glass, cloth/tissue piece or a small towel to wipe in each use and multi folded jute bag for purchase. Plan to use plastic containers and other products to reuse for daily needs to avoid the pollution and fossil fuel change the climates.
