INTRODUCTION
SUBJECT TITLE: How plastic waste transform into plastic wealth for
human beings .
PROJECT LOCATION :Palghar , mahim
Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me. Those are the words of an old love
song, but it could just as easily be a song about plastics—the most versatile
materials in our modern world. Plastics are plastic, which means we can mold
them into pretty much anything, from car bodies and washing-up bowls to toilet
seats and toothbrushes. That's partly because there are many different kinds of
plastic but also because each kind can be used for many things. What exactly is
plastic? How do we make it? How do we get rid of it when we no longer need it?
Let's take a closer look!

We talk about "plastic" as though it's a single material, but there are in fact many
different plastics. What they have in common is that they're plastic, which means
they are soft and easy to turn into many different forms during manufacture.
Plastics are (mostly) synthetic (human-made) materials, made from polymers,
which are long molecules built around chains of carbon atoms, typically with
hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen filling in the spaces. You can think of a
polymer as a big molecule made by repeating a small bit called a monomer over
and over again; "poly" means many, so "polymer" is simply short for "many
monomers." If you think of how a long coal train is made from many trucks
coupled together, that's what polymers are like. The trucks are the monomers and
the entire train, made from lots of identical trucks, is the polymer. Where a coal
train might have a couple of dozen trucks, a polymer could be built from hundreds
or even thousands of monomers. In other words, polymers typically have very
large and heavy molecules.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To find out the wastage of plastic in usage of plastic.

METHODOLGY AND WORK PLAN:In this study we just research

about the plastic waste and plastic pollutant in nature.

in production of plastic so much plastic get wasted. for this we have ton one this
work out.

SOLUTION.
in order to perpare this we sort in this study we target our society for haremful and
useful effect of plastics.

OBSERVATIONS: According to our study we get to know that so much

plastic get wasted in day to day life of a comon man.

plastic is non decomposing substance in nature causing pollution.

plastic cause so many disease in our society .

Plastic when released from factory causes so many pollution getting into clean
river ,making it dirty.

CONCLUSION:
Plastics are integral part of society and have varied application. Plastics are
composed of a network of molecular monomers bound together to form
macromolecules. There are increasing concerns due to non degradability and
generation of toxic gases on combustion during incineration. Due to fabrication of
desired shape colour and specification convenient to customers there is increasing
application in packaging, agriculture, automobiles and biomedical. They are
indispensable to the modern generation due to development in information
technology, intelligent and smart packaging system. Efforts are in progress for
development of efficient and precise conversation of renewable raw materials into
innovative polymeric product through recent technologies which are superior in
terms of performance, environmental and cost perspectives. In rivers and at coastal
regions the marine pollution is increasing at a faster rate due to indiscriminate
disposal by the consumers. R&D studies are now centred for investigating whether
consumption of plastic debris by marine organism translates into toxic exposures
for people who consume seafood with particular relevance to plasticisers,
stabilizers, heavy metals viz phthalates, BPA, lead cadmium, methyl mercury.
Biological effects from pollution are linked with resulting economic effects and
losses. A cornerstone of sustainable development is the establishment of
affordable, effective and truly sustainable waste management practices in
developing countries

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Bring your own shopping bag
The usefulness of these thin and easily ripped bags is extremely limited, yet according to one
estimate, somewhere between five billion and one trillion plastic bags are used each year around
the world. Although free to shoppers, these bags have a high environmental cost and are one of
the most ubiquitous forms of garbage. Bringing your own plastic bag is common but good
environmental advice, such good advice that some governments implemented policies to
encourage more people to do it. Disposable shopping bags have been banned in a number of
cities, like San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
In addition to bigger carryall bags, you can further reduce waste by bringing your own reusable
produce bags or skipping them entirely.

2. Stop buying bottled water

Unless there’s some kind of contamination crisis, plastic water bottles are an easy target for
reducing waste. Instead, keep a refillable bottle handy.

3. Bring your own thermos to the coffee shop

Speaking of refillable, bringing your own thermos for to-go coffee is another way to reduce your
plastic footprint. Disposable coffee cups might look like paper but they’re usually lined with
polyethylene, a type of plastic resin. In theory these materials can be recycled, but most places
lack the infrastructure to do so. Then there are lids, stirrers, and coffee vendors that still use
polystyrene foam cups—which can all be avoided with your own mug.

4. Choose cardboard over plastic bottles and bags

Generally speaking, it’s easier to recycle cardboard than plastic, plus paper products tend to
biodegrade more easily without adding a lot of weight to the product the way glass or aluminum
can. So, when you have the choice, pick pasta in the box instead of pasta in a bag, or detergent in
the box instead of the bottle. Even better would be to check for companies that source their
cardboard sustainably or have a strong stance on deforestation.

5. Say no to straws
Whether for home use or when you’re ordering a drink at a bar or restaurant, plastic straws are
often a single-use item that's just not necessary.

6. Get the plastic off your face

Much of the plastic that’s polluting the oceans is microplastics, tiny chunks that are next to
impossible to filter out. These plastics can come from bigger items breaking down, but they are
also commonly added to consumer products like face wash and toothpaste. These little beads are
intended to be exfoliators, but many wastewater treatment facilities aren’t able to stop them.
There are many biodegradable alternatives, so avoid items with “polypropylene” or
“polyethylene” on the ingredients list or consider making your own.

7. Skip the disposable razor

Instead of tossing a plastic razor in the trash every month, consider switching to a razor that lets
your replace just the blade or even a straight razor.

8. Switch from disposable diapers to cloth

If you’ve got a young baby, you know how many diapers can end up in the trash each day.
TreeHugger writers are pretty big fans of the the reusable cloth option, read Michael Graham
Richard’s experience with them as a new dad and Katherine Martinko’s recommended brands.

9. Make your period waste-free

There are a number of non-disposable options out there to cut down on period waste, from the
Diva Cup, to the Ruby Cup to DIY-with-pride reusable pads. All these choices reduce incredible
amount of packaging that most pads and tampons are encased in. If you’re not in a situation
where giving up tampons is an option, consider skipping brands with plastic applicators.

10. Re-think your food storage

Plastic baggies, plastic wrap, and plastic storage containers are worth re-evaluating. Instead of
sandwich baggies, why not pack a bento box or a cute tiffin (shown at the top of this post) for
lunch? Instead of throwing away plastic zipper bags or wrapping things in Saran wrap, why not
use jars or glass containers in the fridge? When it comes to carryout, these types of containers be
used instead of disposable ones—although it can definitely take a bit of courage and some
explaining to help your local restaurants to understand.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE

Aim :to Recycle are the go-to specialists when it comes to plastic recycling in
the North East of England. As we are able to recycle both soft and hard plastics at
our facility we cut out the middle man, saving your business both time and money
whilst reducing your impact on the environment.
In the UK alone over 5 million tonnes of plastic is used each year, of which only
an estimated 24% is recycled. At Aim to Recycle we will ensure that all plastics
collected are safely and properly segregated to remove any contamination risks
before they are entered into the recycling process. All items are then sorted and
baled before they are classed as ready to be reproduced into new packaging
products.
Plastic bottle recycling process:

 Plastic bottles collected, baled and segregated

 Labels removed and bottles cleaned
 Made into pellets to be manufactured into new bottles
Our plastic recycling process also includes polythene, which is cleaned before
being melted down into pellets for manufacturing into bin bags, visqueen and
more. All rigid plastics are sorted, granulated and sent to be made into pellets to be

OBJECTIVE:
 To find how plastic i is recycle
 How we we manage plastic recycling
 Avoid diseases causing waste plastic
 How make it wealth

: HYPOTHESIS:
In the following hypothesis has been formulated to test some attributes of the
respondent .

HYPOTHESIS NO. 1-. so much plastic get wasted in production of many

things

HYPOTHESIS NO.2-production factories dispose theire waste in rivers

and pollute it.

HYPOTHESIS NO.3-plastic is hard to recycle.

HYPOTHESIS NO.4 – plastic is non biodegradeble so it cause pollution in
nature.

HYPOTHESIS NO.5-in rainy season plastic become main reason for

choking of water and causing flood.

CONCLUSION:

Waste separation from the household level, proper storage, more efficient waste
collection systems, and sustainable recovery and disposal practices are identified as
needed processes in the study area. Considering the nature and components of
waste generated by households and business places, the waste reduction, reuse,
recycling and composting processes would be more suitable in managing the
challenge. These management options should be integrated in a sustainable
framework. Adequate consideration should be given to monitoring processes.
Public education and properly planned waste management programs also need to
be introduced into the current waste management system. Especially awareness
programmes must be conducted in order to improve the knowledge about the
importance of SWM for sound environmental development in the area. The
authorities should provide for the introduction of complimentary programs and
policy development.

NEED STATEMENT AND

RELEVSANCE
THIS TOPIC REASON FOR SELECTING:
There is a need of an application that tells people where to dispose the garbage and
at what time. The application will let people know where the garbage should be
disposed within the time limit. People will be allowed to report if they see garbage
outside their neighbors’ houses. Government should then penalize the house owner
if it is found that garbage is kept outside haphazardly. Certain area have certain
place to throw away their garbage and people have to abide by the rules and laws
strictly. One house could report about haphazard disposal of wastages. They would
be rewarded from the government for reporting as an incentive to encourage
people to keep reporting the misuse of the rules and regulations. The rules should
be such that people are only allowed to dispose the garbage at certain place. The
garbage should be separated. For instance, the recycling materials like papers,
plastics, iron, tins and others should be in a separate baggage while the waste food
items that could be turned as organic disposal should be in a separate baggage so
that it would be easier to collect for the garbage collectors. The government should
then be able to recycle the ones possible and dump the unnecessary wastages in a
safe place, away from residential areas.

RELESVSANCE OF THIS RESEARCH TO THE FOCAL

THEME:
This title plastic waste to wealth directlly related to our focal theme “waste to
wealth “ .it means that how we make plastic waste to wealth .

FUTURE PLAN
On a recent visit to India I made two striking observations: First, in the smaller
cities and on national highways, plastic bags were everywhere. Plastic pollution
was rampant. Second, even as the Indian government’s pro-growth policy calls for
the increased use of plastics – plastics are, in effect, a proxy for economic growth –
the country’s plastics recycling industry is booming, spread across an informal
amalgam of street pickers, small start-ups and non-governmental entities focused
on the secondary use economy.

India isn’t alone in its efforts to deal with plastic waste. About 75 percent of plastic
waste in the U.S. ends up in landfills, and less than 10% is successfully recycled.
(Most of the rest is combusted for energy.)

Plastics are lightweight, versatile and durable but in spite of their ubiquitous
presence and critical role in many of our technological advancements – from
automobiles and computers to replacement heart valves – they are now seen as a
challenge to animals, marine life and future generations of humans.

OBSERVATION
After describing the need for “an economy designed to eliminate waste and
pollution ,”The Next Wave states “This report is principally concerned with only
the waste management aspect of the solution set. This is because it is written from
an ocean perspective, and we need fast action to keep plastic waste out of the
ocean.” For the bulk of the remainder of the report, there is a principal focus on
waste management strategies, and the core financial model of the report is based
on investment in waste management technologies.
While we agree that working with cities on waste systems is a critical and urgent
need, it is imperative that these systems move beyond a focus on management to
send the right signals up the value chain. Zero waste models — including
improved collection, recycling, composting, reuse, bans, and limited landfilling or
containment of residual plastics when necessary — quickly reduce the amount of
plastic entering the ocean. These are “fast acting” solutions, and the fact that they
are cost-effective also makes them timely. Yet the ultimate goal of a zero waste
system is not just to responsibly manage waste — rather, it is to understand our
waste streams, identify problematic materials, and eliminate those products which
do not fit into this system.
. These cheap plastics and packaging will either create air pollution (through
burning), land pollution (through dumping), or marine pollution (through
“leakage” into waterways). Zero waste systems are designed to gather data about
poorly designed packaging and products, making them visible so they can be
redesigned and phased out to reduce the likelihood that they will become pollution.
Plastic bag bans and tariffs, as well as expanded polystyrene and other material and
product bans, have also shown to be particularly effective in some countries and
cities. These solutions can have an immediate impact.
