Plastic waste pollution significantly exacerbates environmental degradation and climate change. The production and disposal of plastic contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and when plastic waste is not properly managed, it:

• Breaks down into microplastics, contaminating soil and water sources.
• Releases toxic chemicals into the environment, harming biodiversity.
• Emits harmful pollutants when incinerated, further contributing to climate change.

To mitigate these issues, recycling processes must be optimized to reduce emissions, and industries must transition toward sustainable materials and energy sources.
