  • Abstract:
  • Plastic has revolutionized modern life, becoming indispensable across various sectors such as packaging, construction, and healthcare. However, its environmental impact, including pollution and non-biodegradability, has raised global concerns. This study explores the lifecycle of plastic, from production to disposal, highlighting its applications, challenges, and sustainable alternatives. A mixed-method approach was employed, including literature review and statistical analysis of plastic waste management data. Results underscore the urgent need for sustainable practices, such as recycling and the development of bioplastics, to mitigate the ecological footprint of plastic. The findings provide a comprehensive perspective on balancing innovation with environmental stewardship.
