● Plastics are referred to as both a boon and a bane .
● The increasing amount of Plastic and Polythene wastes

are major environmental concerns . Nations across the
world are calling for ban on plastics and polythene
bags.
● In this Project we are going to study about the impact

of plastics on the environment , Human Rights abuses
that occur throughout the life cycle of plastics and the
False Solution of Plastic recycling.
Action Plan
● We formed a whatsapp group to discuss ideas collectively
● The theme was decided after thorough research
● We collected information from various credible sources
● The final report was compiled after consulting with the

English teacher.
● We submitted the Project on 18th November 2023

Report : Introduction
Plastic has become one of the most
common and convenient substances in
our modern world. Especially when it
comes to food packaging and food
storage, plastic has infiltrated the market,
frequently used for everyday items like
storing leftovers, bottled water, and baby
bottles. However, plastic contains
thousands of harmful compounds that
have the potential to disrupt your
hormones, metabolism, and brain.
Questionnaire
1)Where do people dispose plastic wastes?
2)What techniques are used to control plastic pollution?
3) Explain briefly about the importance of plastic
4)What are the effects of plastic on human body?
5) What is the current trend in plastic use?

Report : Importance of plastic
Plastic has become one of the most common and
convenient substances in our modern world.
Especially when it comes to food packaging and

food storage, plastic has infiltrated the market,
frequently used for everyday items like storing
leftovers, bottled water, and baby bottles.
However, plastic contains thousands of harmful

compounds that have the potential to disrupt your
hormones, metabolism, and brain.
Report : Decomposition of plastic
Plastic takes lot of time to decompose. This
means that all plastic that has ever been
produced and has ended up in the environment
is still present there in one form or another.
Plastic production is booming since the 1950s.
For this reason, and as plastic is non-
biodegradable, there is a build-up or
accumulation of plastic as more and more is
released into the environment. So what
happens to plastic in the oceans? It
accumulates in certain places due to rain, wind,
or ocean currents, but some of it might simply
stay in places where plastic waste is dumped.
Report : Surge in Plastic Menace
Plastic production keeps growing at
a rapid pace.About half of all plastic
on earth has been produced in the
last thirteen years.
If the current trend continues,
around the year 2050, there will be
about twelve billion tons of plastic
in landfills and in the environment..
Plastic consumption has
quadrupled over the past 30 years
Report : Newspaper cuttings
Report : How Sikkim fought plastic
Sikkim, which in 1998 became the first Indian state
to ban disposable plastic bags, is also among the first
to target single-use plastic bottles.
Studies by Delhi-based Toxics Link and Pune-based

eCoexist NGOs conducted in 2014 and 2018,
respectively, showed that, despite the continued use
of plastic bags, Sikkim has fared quite well in the
implementation of its green policies. eCoexist study
found that around 66 percent of shops in Sikkim used
paper bags or newspapers and around 34 percent
used plastic bags, which includes non-woven bags.
Report : Plastic man of India
● Rajagopalan Vasudevan is also called as the
'Plastic Man of India' who has found a way to
reuse plastic waste
● He developed an innovative method to reuse
plastic waste to construct better, more
durable and very cost-effective roads
● The construction of every kilometre of road
required nine tonnes of bitumen and one
tonne of plastic waste. This means for every
kilometre of road, one tonne bitumen is
saved, which costs about Rs 30,000.
● As of July 2021, 703 kilometres of national
highways have been built using this R.
technology. VASUDEVA
Reflection
Plastic has to be carefully until completely replaced by better
alternatives
We must follow the 5rs While using Plastics
● Refuse: Refuse to buy plastics and its products which harms us

and the environment
● Reduce:Reduce the use of plastic bags and use cloth bags or jute
bags as a substitute
● Recycle:Plastics goods which can be subjected to a chemical
process to recycle them should be used as they can be
recycled back to the new form again.( More and more
packaging is harder and more expensive to recycle because
of the type of plastic used or because the packaging is made
by laying different materials together).
● Reuse:Reuse old plastic bags while shopping
● Repurpose:Repurpose is the process of using plastics for
another purpose
