“Plastic Pollution and its Sustainable Management Utilizing Green Economy Strategies” with Alok Prasad Das, Department of Life Sciences, Rama Devi Women’s University, Odisha, India Date/Time: Tuesday, February 25, 2025; 6:00-7:00 pm PST, 9-10 pm EST, 7:30-8:30 am IST Abstract: The Earth’s biosphere represents a natural ecosystem characterized by intrinsic self-remediation mechanisms; nonetheless, the contemporary tempo of resource extraction and the associated depletion of natural resources underscore alarming detrimental ecological trends. The life cycle of plastic materials presently poses a significant threat to planetary boundaries, suggesting that pollution resulting from plastics may surpass a critical threshold, thereby engendering enduring global ramifications for climate, ecosystems, and levels of biodiversity. The majority of the compounds that confer distinctive properties to plastics, including hardness, durability, malleability, color, and plasticity, are emitted into the atmosphere during incineration practices. This process releases a plethora of hazardous substances into the air, adversely affecting human skin and visual health, increasing the likelihood of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, provoking headaches and nausea, and potentially inflicting damage to neurological and reproductive systems. The pervasive environmental challenges necessitate the adoption of greener technologies that uphold the integrity of global environmental issues, irrespective of their complexity and the solutions required for implementation. The integration of waste management with environmental sustainability and economic development constitutes a fundamental milestone within the framework of a circular economy. There exists an urgent imperative for developing nations to advance towards a circular economy in order to fulfil their sustainable development objectives. To genuinely progress towards a circular economy, structural enhancements and the innovation of novel materials recovery methodologies are essential. Greener technologies are regarded as an innovative paradigm that facilitates economic advancement while simultaneously ensuring the preservation of environmental sustainability.
