The natural qualities of plastics, such as their inertness, low bulk densities and little risk of contamination is the result that encourages for appropriate packing of materials. All around the country, but especially in urban areas, plastic bottles, sachets and packaging of food have become very common. The packaging revolt was not supported by an effective plastic waste management strategy, leaving many cities covered with plastic debris, leading to terrible visual issues and other issues with community health. Most wealthy nations now have plastic recycling programmes in place as a result of rising environmental consciousness and declining landfill capacity. The study addresses the potential for programmes to manage plastic trash in Bengaluru where it is considered that unless long-term corrective actions are adopted for the management of plastic trash, the rate at which the ecosystem is deteriorating now is likely to continue.

Plastics, packaging, recycling, plastic waste management.
