Data from the packaging segment data reveals that Polyethylene and\npolypropylene account for around 33% and 29% of polymer usage, respectively,\nfollowed by polyethene terephthalate (PET) at 17%, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) at\n7%, and others at 14% in this segment.

This type of\nplastic comprises around 26-36 per cent of the world\u2019s plastic that is Single\nUse Plastic posed to dispose of after immediate use. Many Single Use Plastic products\nsuch as face masks, medical equipment, shopping bags, coffee cups, and cling\nfilm are everyday \u201cessentials\u201d in our lives, adding tremendous value. The\nproduction of Single Use Plastic has doubled since 2005 alone and is expected\nto increase three times by further between 2020 and 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The most common\nplastic products that are Single Use Plastic are: &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Plastic Drinking Bottles<\/li><li>Carry Bags<\/li><li>Plastic Wrappers for consumer goods<\/li><li>Straws and stirrers<\/li><li>Multi-Layer packaging used for Food Packing <\/li><li>Plastic bottle caps <\/li><li>Food Wrappers <\/li><li>Plastic Grocery Bags <\/li><li>Plastic Drinking Bottles <\/li><li>Foam takeaway containers <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_for_Alternatives_to_Single_Use_Plastic\"><\/span>Need for Alternatives to Single Use Plastic <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cumulative production of polymers between 1950 \u2013 2015,\nsynthetic fibre and additives was 8300 million tons, of which 4600 million tons\n(55 per cent) went straight to landfills or were discarded, 700 million tons (8\nper cent) incinerated, and only 500 million tons (6 per cent) was recycled. By\n2050, as per current production and waste management trends, had it continued\nat the same rate, it would have generated 12,000 MT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manufacture and unregulated use of Single Use Plastic\ncan have a detrimental impact on the environment and human health. Apart from\nthis, it also has a huge economic impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look into the environmental impact of Single Use\nPlastic, it is reported that uncontrolled use or unregulated disposal of\nplastic lead to Pollution in the ocean, which have a detrimental effect on\nmarine life as well as if disposed on the land or burned cause soil and air\npollution which again release toxic gases contributing towards the greenhouse\neffect. Single Use plastic life cycle at every stage releases greenhouse gasses\nstarting from the initial stage of fossil fuel extraction to Plastic refining\nand production, management of plastic waste and at last, its disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These released toxic gases affect human health as well,\ncausing multiple health issues that are irreversible in nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_Single_Use_Plastic\"><\/span>Alternatives to Single Use Plastic &nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With time, people, as well as the authorities, have realised\nthe adverse impact that single-use plastic has on our environment. Therefore\nmany different alternatives have been introduced and thought about, some being\nnatural and some being man-made. Some of the Alternatives to Single Use Plastic\ncan be utilised daily, especially those that are made of Common Plant\nmaterials, the plant source, the component polymer and glass. These natural\nalternatives to Single Use Plastic are a source of income for many farmers and\nlocal craftsmen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from these natural and daily Alternatives to Single\nUse Plastic, man-made alternatives may also be used, some of which are:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bio-Plastic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bio-Plastic are a type of plastic that is either\nbiodegradable or bio-sourced or both and is manufactured from renewal biomass\nnatural resources like corn starch\/sugarcane\/cassava, which can be both\nbiodegradable and non-biodegradable. The Global bioplastic market was worth\n10.2 Billion US Dollars in 2021, with the estimated Compound Annual Growth Rate\nof 17.1 per cent from 2022-2030.

This type of Alternatives to Single-Use Plastic has to adhere to\nthe BIS Standards and has to acquire CPCB Certificate. The Global biodegradable\nplastic market was worth 1.6 Billion US Dollars in 2019, with the estimated\nCompound Annual Growth Rate of 13.3 per cent from 2020-2027. India has imported\nbiodegradable plastics worth more than 320 million US Dollars in 2021, almost\nall of which goes into the manufacturing of carrying bags &amp; garbage bags.\nIn India, the market is estimated to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of\n22.1 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compostable\nPlastic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compostable Plastic is plastic that undergoes the biological\nprocess of degradation during composting to yield CO2, Inorganic compounds,\nbiomass and Water at a similar rate to Alternative compostable material.
