摘要：

Plastic is a general term utilized for a wide scope of high subatomic weight natural polymers obtained for the most part from the different hydrocarbon and oil subsidiaries. Plastic is non-biodegradable, as it does not break down to a natural, environmentally safe condition after some time by natural procedure. Global world is attempting to recycle more plastic. Plastics that are disposed off in daily routine are becoming noticeable execration for environment; more than half of the world is facing these problems. Underdeveloped countries constitute more than half of the world and have heaps or gyre of plastics and other wastes. The time rate of wastage of plastic is increasing which can be observed by seeing oceans. It is hard now to clean them up at this stage. It is a nature of a plastic that when it reveals to the heat or sunlight, it starts to discharge harmful poisonous chemicals. It takes approximately thousand years to degrade, so dumping them in ocean or in landfill does not mean they will be gone, but they will be here after centuries. This paper focuses on the effects of reduction and recycling of plastics on environment.
