This book gives a broader framework of plastic pollution, which is a significant issue worldwide. The book emphasizes the primary (plastic waste discharged from the direct source) and secondary pollutants (plastic trash which is disposed of on land and converted to micro and nano plastics in ocean). In addition to this, the volume also addresses the issues of plastic pollution by managing plastic waste in a circular closed loop. The book is divided into three parts: (1) generation and assessment of plastic waste, (2) impact assessment of plastics due to improper management and disposal, (3) sustainable management of plastic waste and converting them into resource.
