Plastic pollution involves the accumulation of plastic products in the environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, or humans.[1] Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macrodebris, based on size.[2] The prominence of plastic pollution is correlated with plastics being inexpensive and durable, which lends to high levels of plastics used by humans.[3] However, it is slow to degrade.[4] Plastic pollution can unfavorably affect lands, waterways and oceans. Living organisms, particularly marine animals, can also be affected through entanglement, direct ingestion of plastic waste, or through exposure to chemicals within plastics that cause interruptions in biological functions. Humans are also affected by plastic pollution, such as through the disruption of the thyroid hormone axis or hormone levels. In the UK alone, more than 5 million tonnes of plastic are consumed each year, of which an estimated mere 24% makes it into recycling systems. That leaves a remaining 3.8 million tonnes of waste, destined for landfills.[5][6] Plastic reduction efforts have occurred in some areas in attempts to reduce plastic consumption and pollution and promote plastic recycling.

Title: Plastic Management: Strategies for Sustainable Solutions
Abstract:
Plastic pollution has become a pressing global issue, with severe environmental, economic, and health consequences. Addressing this challenge requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses reduction, recycling, innovation, policy reform, and public engagement. This essay explores various aspects of plastic management, including the current state of plastic pollution, the impact on ecosystems and human health, existing management strategies, and emerging solutions for a sustainable future.
Introduction:
Plastic has become an integral part of modern life, revolutionizing industries and consumer products. However, its widespread use has led to significant environmental degradation, with millions of tons of plastic entering oceans, rivers, and landfills every year. Plastic pollution poses threats to marine life, terrestrial ecosystems, and human health, highlighting the urgent need for effective management strategies.
Understanding Plastic Pollution:
Plastic pollution is a complex issue driven by multiple factors, including excessive production, inadequate waste management infrastructure, and improper disposal practices. Single-use plastics, in particular, contribute significantly to pollution due to their short lifespan and limited recycling options. Plastic debris accumulates in the environment, posing entanglement risks to wildlife and leaching toxic chemicals into ecosystems.
Environmental and Health Impacts:
The environmental impacts of plastic pollution are far-reaching, affecting biodiversity, water quality, and ecosystem functioning. Marine animals ingest plastic debris, leading to internal injuries, starvation, and death. Microplastics, small particles resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic items, are pervasive in water bodies and soil, posing risks to aquatic organisms and potentially entering the food chain. Moreover, plastics contain additives and pollutants that can leach into the environment, posing risks to human health through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure.
Current Plastic Management Practices:
Plastic management involves a combination of waste reduction, recycling, and regulation. Many countries have implemented policies such as plastic bag bans, extended producer responsibility schemes, and deposit-return systems to reduce plastic consumption and promote recycling. Recycling infrastructure varies globally, with some regions having advanced facilities capable of processing various types of plastics, while others lack adequate capacity, leading to landfilling or incineration.
Challenges and Limitations:
Despite efforts to manage plastic pollution, several challenges persist. Technical limitations, such as the difficulty of recycling certain types of plastics and the contamination of recyclable materials, hinder effective waste management. Economic factors, including the low market value of recycled plastics compared to virgin mat

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

3. Definition of plastic
• The word 'Plastic' is derived from the
Greek word 'Plastikos' meaning fit for
moulding & 'Plastos' meaning
moulded.
• The term “plastics” include materials
composed of various elements such as
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen,
chlorine & sulphur,
• Polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride ,
polystyrene is largely used in the
manufacturing plastics.
• The first human-made plastic,
parkesine, later called cellulose, was
invented by Alexander Parkes in 1855.
4. Classifications of Plastics
Thermoplastics:-
• Thermoplastics (Thermo=Heat, Plastic =A State Between Solid And Liquid) Are Made Of Long
Chain Molecule that are entangled with each other but not bonded together.
• They can be recycled.
Thermoplastic can be molded Into any shape,
• E.g.. Polyethylene , Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) , Nylon And Teflon , Polypropylene , Polystyrene
Thermosetting:-
• Thermosetting Made From Long Chain Molecules Tied With Strong Covalent Bond And
Cross Linked -This Cause Plastic Became Rigid And Not Flexible Even At High
Temperature.
• They Are More Brittle.
• E.g.. - Phenolic resin, Amino and epoxy resin, Bakelite, Polyurethane, Vulcanized rubber.
5. Advantages & Disadvantages of Plastics
Disadvantages of Plastics
Plastic is totally impermeable to moisture,
gases etc.
Most plastics permit some passage of light.
Even highly pigmented .
May be permeable to, or subject to attack by,
organic substances, particularly solvents.
Light weight & thin wall section may require
specific production line handling.
Certain designs may show paneling or
cavitation .
Advantages of Plastics
Plastic materials are light in weight, unbreakable,
odorless and can be easily molded.
They have excellent finishing possess good
shock absorption capacity, high strength as well
as toughness.
Therefore they possess good thermal and
electrical insulating property.
Plastics have water resistant good
adhesiveness.
Plastic can be used in building, construction,
electronics, packing and transportation industries.
6. Plastic waste
“Plastic waste “ means any plastic product
such as carry bags, pouches or multi-layered
packing, which have been discarded after use
or after their intended life is over
Plastic material found in our waste are
various both according to their nature and to
their uses.
Indeed, the vast majority of plastic material is
made of petroleum products and they are
not biodegradable.
7. Plastics as a pharmaceutical waste
As a matter of fact plastics are essential
in modern day health care. Plastic
products are used in surgery, health
care products, pharmaceuticals, drug
delivery systems and medical
packaging.
Essential medical applications include:
a) Blood bags.
b) Fluid bags.
c) Heart and lung bypass sets.
d) Blood transfusion sets.
e) Surgical gloves.
f) Drug containers and bottles.
8. Classification of plastics' waste based on medical products
Unlike the household plastic products the medical products are mostly disposable .This can be classified
in to two main categories namely-
Post consumer waste :-
Hospitals produce most of the post consumer waste in form of used syringes, drip bags, surgical gloves,
bottles etc.
Now a days approximately 16 billion injections are administered worldwide, every single year.
Unused or company waste :-
Plastic waste generated during the production of medical products such as syringes, drip bags etc. is
due to the test production and machine errors caused during moulding process.
This waste is usually cleaner as compared to the post consumer waste and hence easily recycled
through shorter process mainly shredding and pelletizing only.
9. Adverse effect of plastics
In addition to creating safety
problems during production,
many chemical additives that
give plastic products desirable
performance properties also
have negative environmental
and human health effects.
These effects include
Direct toxicity, as in the cases of
lead, cadmium, and mercury
Carcinogens, as in the case of
diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)
Endocrine disruption, which can
lead to cancers, birth defects.
10. Effects on Human Health
Plastic Adverse Health Effects
Polyvinylchloride Cancer, birth defects, vision failure, ulcers
Phthalates ( DEHP, DINP) Endocrine disruption, asthma, hormonal changes
Polycarbonate Cancer, obesity, diabetes, hyperactivity
Polystyrene Irritate eyes, nose and throat, dizziness
Polyethylene Human carcinogen
Urea formaldehyde Carcinogen, birth defects and genetic changes
Polyurethane Foam Bronchitis, coughing, shin and eye problem
Acrylic Vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea, headache and fatigue
Tetrafluoro Ethelyn Breathing difficulties
12. Recycling of plastics through environmental manner
• Recycling of plastics should be carried in such a
manner to minimize the pollution during the process.
• Plastics recycling have been historically divided into
four general types:-
• Primary recycling involves processing of a waste into a
product with characteristics similar to those of
original product.
• Secondary recycling involves processing of waste
plastics into materials that have characteristics
different from those of original plastics product.
• Tertiary recycling involves the production of basic
chemicals and fuels from plastics waste as part of
municipal waste stream.
• Quaternary recycling retrieves the energy content of
waste plastics by burning. This process is not use in
India.
13. Plasma Pyrolysis Technology
Pyrolysis is the thermal disintegration
of carbonaceous material in oxygen-
starved atmosphere.
The intense and versatile heat
generation capabilities of Plasma
Pyrolysis technology enable it to
dispose of all types of plastic waste
including polymeric, biomedical and
hazardous waste in a safe and reliable
manner.
When optimized, the most likely
compounds formed are methane,
carbon monoxide, hydrogen carbon
dioxide and water molecules.
14. Conversion of Plastics Waste into liquid fuel
The entire process is undertaken in
closed reactor vessel followed by
condensation, if required.
Waste plastics while heating up to 2700 to
3000 C convert into liquid- vapour state,
which is collected in condensation
chamber in the form of liquid fuel.
The tarry liquid waste is topped-down
from the heating reactor vessel.
The organic gas is generated which can
be used in dual fuel diesel generator set
for generation of electricity.
15. Benefits of Recycling Medicinal Waste
Collecting, recycling and reusing
medical waste can avoid environmental
hazards and can provide economic
benefits for health care facilities.
It reduces the volume of the waste
materials that must be disposed in a
landfill as a result of it -
1. The emission of green house gasses
is decreased.
2. Burning of fossil fuels become less.
3. Mixing of Carbon di oxide become
less.
17. Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 What‘s New?
Aluminum thickness Of plastic carry bags
increased from 40 to 50 microns.
Responsibility Of local bodies and gram
panchayat.
Responsibility Of waste generator.
C011ect back system and extended
producer responsibility.
Responsibility Of retailers and street
vendors.
Registration Of the shopkeepers and street
vendor to getting plastic bag.
18. Conclusion
Enormous quantities of plastic are produced and
used.
It is convenient (use and throw away).
Although some plastics are recyclable, not enough is
recycled.
Plastic waste pose a serious threat to environment.
Laws, economical measures and education help.
Should we really put our own selfish needs before the
needs of everything around us now and the lives of
future generations? As a responsible citizen we must
take precautions while using plastic products, reduce
the consumption, and encourage others to do the same.
