Abstract

Plastic pollution has risen to the top of the list of environmental concerns. As of 2017, there have been more than 7,800 million metric tonnes (MMT) of plastic resin and fibers produced since 1950. Experts also predict that by the year 2050, plastics will exceed fish in the ocean. Among the effects plastic pollution has on our environments are land, air, and marine. Single-use plastics are likely to also affect the country’s manufacturing sector with implications for indirect and direct economic losses. The various techniques of plastic waste recycling have been done as a contribution to plastic solid waste management. The solutions encompass liquid refuse-derived fuel conversion, gasification of waste plastic, microbial degradation of plastics, and ESG practice (environmental, social, and governance). This article summarises the current body of knowledge on this topic, drawing on previously published papers and research findings, to predict what will happen if things continue as they are and provide suggestions on how to avoid things becoming worse.
