Plastic pollution has become a global environmental crisis, with detrimental impacts on ecosystems, economy, and human health. To address this challenge, effective plastic waste management strategies are essential. This research paper focuses on the issue of plastic waste and the management strategies to be adopted in India. The paper emphasizes the necessity of innovative waste management techniques to tackle this problem on a larger scale. Despite notable efforts to tackle the problem in India, an alarming plastic waste approximately 3.8 million tons remains uncollected or improperly disposed of each year, which contributes to pollution. Drawing on existing literature and case studies, the paper examines the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of plastic waste management. The findings underscore the importance of holistic and collaborative efforts involving government policies, industry initiatives, public awareness campaigns, and technological innovations to achieve a circular economy and mitigate the adverse effects of plastic pollution. Key strategies include the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, the promotion of circular economy principles, investment in recycling infrastructure, public awareness campaigns, and international cooperation. The paper offers a set of recommendations that are based on solid evidence and propose a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach.
