Investment and Infrastructure Development Required for Plastic Waste Management

Plastic pollution is now a global challenge, which is rooted in the mismanagement of plastic waste. Currently, an individual consumes 15 to 20 kg of plastic per year, which will reach 30 kg by 2030. This trend indicates the urgent necessity of plastic waste management. Experts believe that with the country's development, plastic utilization will increase. Therefore, developing some alternatives to plastic is now essential. Along with this, steps must be taken to minimize plastic use and create a circular economy. Investment and infrastructural development are essential for waste management. Learning can be taken from global initiatives. For example, Singapore has already reduced 30 percent of plastic use in their country. We also need to progress on the same path. For this, planning and implementation must start from now.
