Plastikos.
 It is organic compound that are formed by
process of polymerization.
 It can be shaped as filament
 After that craftsman use to make stunning
bangle. Plastic bangle
 A perfect choice of every day use.
 It is light weighted , rarely breakable.
 It is inexpensive, water impermeably, long
life.
 It is high in demands.
 Not use as bangle only, thousand of product
made by plastic
What impact on society
 Today plastic plays a vital in our society.
 Directly or indirectly we depend on plastic.
 Strong, lightweight, and moldable, plastics are used in thousands of
products that add comfort, convenience, and safety to our everyday
lives.
 Plastic’s light weight, strength, and ability to be molded into any form
makes it an ideal packaging material.
 plastic is both lightweight and durable, it makes an ideal material for
manufacturing cars, trucks, and other vehicles
How impact on
society
 Easy to manufacture.
 Durable.
 Easy to carry.
 Water resistance.
 Lightweight.
 Mouldable.

 Rarely breakable.
Why impact on society
 Plastic pollution in oceans can affect human life in a number of ways.
 Toxins in the plastic affect the oceans and fish in the ocean.
 The contaminated fish are ingested by humans, which can lead to
serious health problems.
 Some of the toxins present in plastics are directly related to health
issues such as cancer, birth defects, childhood development issues,
and problems of the immune system.
 plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which
can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources
and also the ecosystem of the world
What impact on environment

 Plastic pollution is currently one of the biggest environmental concerns.

 Overuse of plastic is the main cause of plastic pollution.
 Regular, everyday trash is one of the biggest contributors to plastic
pollution.
 Commercial fishing nets are another big issue.
 When the nets are submerged in the water, they leak toxins. They can
also break, adding even more pollutants to the water.
 When plastic is burned in the open air, releases large amounts of
toxins, which pollutes the air. it can lead to respiratory problems.
Why impact on environment

 The amount of garbage in the world increases as the

population grows.
 Plastic pollution occurs when enough plastic has gathered in
an area that it affects the natural environment and harms
plants, animals, or humans.
 On land, wind can carry plastic waste or litter throughout the
environment.
 When animals come into contact with this plastic waste, they
risk consuming the toxins or becoming entangled in the plastic
and suffocating.
How impact on environment

 Plastic has toxic pollutants that damage the environment

and cause land, water, and air pollution.
 It can take hundreds or even thousands of years for
plastic to break down, so the damage to the environment
is long-lasting.
 The pollution in the ocean is mostly from plastic, and it
has a terrible impact on marine species. As a result, it can
hurt the economy and food supply for communities that
rely on fishing.
What impact on economy

 The Plastic industry in the country employs about 40 lakh

people which include more than 30,000 processing units.
Around 85-90 percent of which are small and medium -
sized enterprises.
 A ban on the plastics could easy affect industry, posing
question on the trade and employment.
 The global market for plastic products is growing at about
3% per year.
 Banning plastics will bring down a multibillion-dollar
industry and thus cause a catastrophic effect on the
economy and subsequently the share market.
How impact on
economy
 A piece of plastic bag will cost you no
more than 10-15 paisa which is much
cheaper than a paper bag costing 50
paisa per piece.
 This means that purchasing plastic bags
in large quantities will be beneficial for
small business and improves profit
margins.

What impact on
economy
 High cost of production.
 The production of plastic material are very
energy intensive.
 In order to produce nine plastic bags, it
takes the equivalent energy to drive a car
one kilometer .
 Using these resources to make plastic bags
is not advisable since the life of plastic
bag is just about 12 minutes.
 Plastic bags are not easy to recycle.

Solution the bases of problem
 the best way to address plastic pollution is to change our
mindsets and habits with this controversial but
nonetheless very useful material:
1.Reduce
To efficiently reduce plastic pollution, there is an evident
need of reducing our usage of plastic. It means changing our
everyday behaviors an not using plastic when there is a
better alternative to it and only using plastic when strictly
necessary.
2.Reuse
 Plastic may cause pollution when poorly managed but it
has lots of advantages too, such as being resistant. Many
plastic items can therefore be reused or used for different
purposes. Before throwing plastic items, it is important to
consider how they can be reused.
3.Recycle
 Plastic recycling consists of collecting plastic waste and
reprocessing it into new products, to reduce the amount
of plastic in the waste stream.
4.Educate
 Another crucial solution is education in
order to increase awareness and behavioral
change.
