Summary: | For more than 100 years plastic has been one of the most important materials we used to create the stuff of our physical wants. Plastics are used widely everywhere in our life. It makes our life easier and better. They provide infinite use in human society and has become the ubiquitous symbol of urban life. Each day people are becoming more and more dependent on the use ofplastics because of the characteristics ofplastic such as inert, durability, flexibility and versatility and so on. The durability of plastics means that they persist, perhaps eternally and forever, in the environment, creating an unsolved problem ofpollution and waste. To tackle the problems caused by plastic many countries are imposing a ban on its usage. Though this move is made by keeping the environment in mind it has directly and indirectly affected many industries who depend on these products for their day-to-day functioning. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on how businesses are showing agility in its functioning by replacing the single use plastic products with not so damaging alternatives. Furthermore, the paper will present alternatives to the single use plastics that the businesses and consumers can adopt that are sustainable, reusable, biodegradable and environment friendly. |
