Plastic Waste Consequences

Plastic Waste Consequences investigates the global crisis of plastic pollution, examining its far-reaching environmental and economic impacts. The book reveals how our reliance on plastics, despite their utility, has led to alarming consequences, including harm to marine life from microplastics and hidden economic costs linked to resource depletion. A key insight is that current waste management practices are unsustainable, necessitating a shift toward a circular economy.

The book is structured to provide a holistic understanding, beginning with an overview of the plastic lifecycle and its impact on various sectors like packaging and textiles. It then analyzes the role of governments and international organizations, assessing current regulations and proposing sustainable management strategies. By integrating environmental economics, public policy, and materials science, Plastic Waste Consequences offers a comprehensive analysis accessible to students, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating a sustainable future. This book distinguishes itself by using a systems-thinking approach. It highlights the interconnectedness of environmental, economic, and social factors within the plastic value chain. It progresses from problem exposition to systemic failure analysis, then to potential solutions.
