        abstract = {Plastic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge due to increased industrial production, consumption, and improper disposal practices. Corporations play a crucial role in addressing this issue through effective plastic waste management and the adoption of corporate environmental responsibility (CER) initiatives. This study examines the plastic waste management practices adopted by selected companies and evaluates their commitment towards corporate environmental responsibility. The research focuses on waste reduction strategies, segregation, recycling initiatives, compliance with environmental regulations, and sustainability reporting practices. Primary data are collected from managerial and operational-level employees using a structured questionnaire, while secondary data are sourced from company reports, sustainability disclosures, and government publications. The study employs statistical tools to analyze the relationship between plastic waste management practices and corporate environmental responsibility. The findings reveal that companies with strong environmental responsibility frameworks demonstrate more effective plastic waste management practices. The study highlights the need for greater regulatory enforcement, employee awareness, and integration of sustainable waste management strategies into corporate policies. The research contributes to understanding the role of corporate responsibility in achieving sustainable plastic waste management and environmental protection.},
