Abstract:
Despite the integral role of plastics in modern society, effective management of plastic waste has remained unaddressed, even as the rate of plastic waste accumulation continues to accelerate. The vast majority of plastic waste has a slow degradation rate, leading to harmful environmental consequences, particularly for marine ecosystems, and may potentially have human health impacts. As a result, policymakers have begun taking action in recent years, with a focus on banning single-use plastics. While single-use plastic bans have seemingly become the preferred policy response, there is debate r

Abstract:
In response to the significant environmental repercussions of plastic consumption, particularly single-use plastics, many countries have taken measures to reduce their reliance on plastic materials. Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), for instance, introduced a single-use plastic policy in 2022, accompanied by a fee of AED 0.25, aimed at promoting environmentally conscious behaviours and curbing plastic waste. This study explores the impact of this policy on consumer behaviour and adoption, drawing insights from a literature review spanning eight nations. The review underscores the r

Abstract:
In the absence of national legislation regulating plastic bag use in the Philippines, cities and municipalities are implementing local ordinances to regulate single-use plastics. This study tested factors shaping policy adoption on single-use plastic bags in cities and municipalities, and those that would explain the variation in the type of policy adopted. Five variables were tested to generate a logistic regression model for policy adoption and a multinomial logistic regression model for policy-type variation study. These variables are waste generation, consistency in implementing solid wast

Abstract:
Governments around the world are introducing single-use plastics bans to alleviate plastic marine pollution. This paper investigates whether banning single-use plastic items is an appropriate strategy to protect the environment. Product life cycle assessment was conducted for single-use plastic and single-use non-plastic alternatives. The life cycle impacts of the two product categories were compared and scaled according to EU consumption of 2016. The results show that a single-use plastics ban would decrease plastic marine pollution in the EU by 5.5% which equates to a 0.06% decrease globally

Abstract:
Kenya has made many attempts to regulate the production of single-use plastics through partial bans and the imposition of hefty taxes. Whereas government initiatives are crucial to resolving single-use plastic pollution, commitments made by youths can be an important part of the solution. Yet, youths are habituated to using single-use plastics without understanding fully their negative impacts. Understanding the knowledge and attitudes of youths is of the utmost importance in the effort to turn the tide against plastic pollution.

Abstract:
Plastic consumption is rapidly increasing globally, particularly in the single-use sector, causing significant environmental and climate issues. Plastic waste accumulates in landfills, contributing to carbon emissions and exacerbating climate change. Inefficient waste management leads to the pollution of oceans, rivers, and ecosystems, posing a threat to biodiversity and public health. This article analyzes policy measures, including demand reduction, product design improvements, increased recycling, spill prevention, and clean-up initiatives.

Abstract:
To tackle the plastic problem, the worldwide campaign ‘Plastic Free July’ aims at encouraging people to reduce single-use plastics during the month of July. To get people started with new behavior patterns, so-called ‘windows of opportunity’—periods where people become open for new experiences—are expected to matter. Therefore, the current study evaluated if an arbitrary month that is framed as an opportunity for change can interrupt people in their daily routines and reduce plastic consumption. An online survey (n = 509) with repeated measures (n = 366) was conducted including one experimenta

Inorganic waste, especially single-use plastic, has a negative impact on the environment and society. The trend of increasing plastic production is not followed by the ability to manage waste properly. As a result, there is a buildup of waste in the world. Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest plastic waste problem. The problem of plastic waste can harm a country such as decline in the tourism sector.

Abstract The rapid urbanization and economic growth have caused increase of plastic products globally. The least developed countries (LDCs) have been facing severe problems with solid waste due to lack of people’s awareness, lack of skilled manpower to handle waste and necessary equipment to manage in sustainable manner. Nepal, a LDC in South Asia, lacks source segregation leading the maximum plastic items reaching to the landfill site. It is even difficult for the planning authorities to make effective plans for sustainable management of plastic waste due to lack of waste generation data. Nep

Abstract:
The fast food industry (FFI) has been rapidly developing over the past few decades due to economic development and an increase in the "on the go" consumption culture. This industry consumes a considerable number of single-use items (SUIs), including single-use plastic items (SUPIs) and single-use paper items (SUPaIs), for the takeaway culture, which treats plastics as waste rather than a valuable resource. The frequent use of SUPIs leads to a significant amount of plastic waste ending up in the ocean. Within this context, Vietnam is one of the focus countries contributing considerably to plast

Abstract:
The tourism industry contributes to and is impacted by plastic waste. The Walt Disney Company (Disney) is one of the largest media and entertainment companies contributing to global travel and waste. Disney theme parks represent a microcosm of society and the conflict between consumerism and environmentalism in the effort to reduce single-use plastic and waste to landfills. Disney has targets to reduce single-use plastic and waste at its wholly owned and operated parks and resorts in France and the United States (U.S.). As a multinational company that operates without a legally binding international agreement on plastic waste, Disney is subject to the plastic policies of each jurisdiction. The policy context in which Disney established its waste targets and the actions taken by Disney to reduce plastic waste in theme parks are discussed in this chapter. Moreover, opportunities to improve waste management practices and shared learning were identified.

In response to escalating environmental concerns and the global push for sustainability, the packaging industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional packaging methods, heavily reliant on single-use plastics, are no longer viable due to their detrimental impact on ecosystems and contribution to climate change. As consumer preferences shift towards eco-friendly products and stricter regulations emerge, industries are compelled to adopt sustainable packaging solutions. This shift not only addresses environmental challenges but also redefines the future of packaging in a rapidly
