This document discusses plastics and their environmental pollution effects. It introduces plastics as polymers used to manufacture various products like plastic bags, sheets, and furniture. Plastics pose environmental problems as they are not biodegradable. The document also discusses the principles of reduce, reuse, recover, and recycle (4Rs) to mitigate the effects of plastic pollution, including reducing waste, reusing goods, recovering energy from waste, and recycling materials. Environmental pollution from industrial activities is a major cause of health and ecological issues.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic
or semi synthetic organic solid materials suitable for the
manufacture of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers
of high molecular weight, and may contain other substances to
improve performance and/or reduce costs.
• Plastic is one of the few new chemical materials which pose
environmental problem. Polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride,
polystyrene is largely used in the manufacture of plastics.

3. TYPES OF PLASTIC PRODUCTS
• PLASTIC BAGS
• PLASTIC COATINGS
• PLASTIC FURNITURE
• PLASTIC SHEETS
• PLASTIC FITTINGS

5. Environmental pollution
• ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION has a
hazardous effect on
the natural world and
on the activities of
living beings.

6. EFFECTS AND CAUSES OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
• EFFECTS:Environmental pollution Almost all
of our gains in the fields of industrial
progress, science and technology had so far
been realized at the cost of our health.
• causes of environmental pollution includes
the following:
• 1.Industrial activities: The industries all
over the world that brought prosperity and
affluence, made inroads in the biosphere and
disturbed the ecological balances.

7. PRINCIPLES OF 4R'S

8. REDUCE
• The success of a strategy
to reduce waste is largely
dependant upon the
adoption of a philosophy to
embrace Resource
Conservation efforts

9. REUSE
• The 4R's Reuse Group
encompasses the entire
spectrum of used goods.
Spanning from Collectables,
antiques and memorabilia to
general used goods retail and
wholesale.

10. RECOVER
• The conversion of
waste materials for the
recovery of the energy
values contained within
the waste material such
as BTUs or protein.

11. RECYCLE
• The traditional recycling
industry has been
primarily a scrap
commodity trading (buying
and selling) operation with
the major efforts
focused around the costs
and efficiency of freight
and material handling.
