Welcome to today's presentation on the pressing issue of plastic pollution. In the next
few slides, we will uncover the critical aspects of this environmental crisis, from its
origins to its global impact. Join us on this journey to gain insights into the world of
plastic pollution.
 Plastic pollution can be categorized into four main
types based on its location and source of origin.
01
Plastic pollution in water primarily
arises from the improper disposal
of plastic products such as bottles,
bags, packaging, and microplastics
(tiny plastic particles).Wind, rain,
and inadequate waste management
systems can transport plastic
waste from land into rivers and
eventually to the
ocean.Microplastics can also enter
water bodies through sources like
synthetic clothing fibers, tire wear,
and microbeads in personal care
products.
02
Plastic pollution in the air, also
known as "airborne
microplastics," is an emerging
environmental concern that
highlights the pervasive nature
of plastic waste in our
environment. While not as
visible as plastic pollution in
water bodies or on land, it has
substantial implications for
human health and the
environment.

Marine type of plastic
characterized by the accumulation and
pollution occurs in oceans,
improper disposal of plastic waste in
terrestrial ecosystems. This pollution arises seas, and other bodies of
from various human activities, including
water. It includes plastic
the discard of plastic products like bags,
bottles, and packaging, often resulting in debris like bottles, bags,
litter in urban and natural environments.

Land-based plastic pollution poses
environmental, aesthetic, and ecological that have entered aquatic
challenges, as plastic waste can persist for environments, often causing
extended periods, leach harmful chemicals
into the soil, disrupt ecosystems, harm harm to marine life and
wildlife, and even potentially impact ecosystems.
human health through the food chain.

The increasing graph of plastic pollution is a concerning global trend that poses
significant environmental and health risks. This graph represents the escalating leve
of plastic waste generated, improperly managed, and released into the environmen
particularly in the oceans.

Inadequate recycling Human health concerns Consumer awareness

 Human health effects
Plastic pollution can contaminate
water sources, leading to the
ingestion of microplastics by humans,
potentially causing health issues.

Exposure to certain chemicals found in

plastics, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and
phthalates, may disrupt the endocrine
system and have adverse effects on
hormonal balance.
Improper disposal of plastic waste in
landfills can lead to the release of toxic
chemicals and leachates that can
contaminate soil and groundwater,
affecting food crops and drinking water
sources.
 Source of plastic pollution

The major 3 sources of plastic pollution which we are discussing about

Single use plastics Plastic packaging Microplastics

Disposable items like plastic
bags, bottles, straws, and
packaging make up a
significant portion of plastic
pollution. They are often
discarded after a single use
and contribute to the
accumulation of plastic
waste.
The packaging industry is a
major contributor to plastic
pollution, with plastic used
extensively for wrapping
products, food containers,
and more. Much of this
packaging ends up as waste,
especially in areas with
inadequate recycling
infrastructure.
Microplastics are tiny plastic
particles that result from the
breakdown of larger plastic
items or are intentionally
manufactured for use in
products like cosmetics and
textiles. These microplastics can
enter the environment through
various routes, including
washing clothes, and can be
challenging to remove.

 Solution of plastic pollution
Recycle properly
Ensure that you recycle
plastics correctly, following
local recycling guidelines.
This helps divert plastic
waste from landfills and
reduces the need for new
plastic production.
Reduce microplastics Innovation
