Circular Economy

RELEVANT WORKS:

Plastic Waste

Assessing the Environmental and Health Impacts of Plastic Waste in South Asia and Promoting Circular Economy Strategies for Mitigation: The outputs of this research include:

• A comprehensive review of the existing literature on plastic waste management and circular economy approaches, with a focus on the South Asian context
• Analysis of the sources and types of plastic waste generated in South Asia, including both solid and marine plastic waste
• Assessment of the environmental impacts of plastic waste on land, water bodies, and marine ecosystems in South Asia, including the impacts on biodiversity, water quality, and soil health
• Evaluation of the health impacts of plastic waste on human populations in South Asia, including the risks of exposure to toxic chemicals and micro-plastics.
• Developed a circular economy approach for managing plastic waste in South Asia, including waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery strategies, based on analysis of existing approaches and stakeholder input and to produce practical recommendations and guidelines for their promotion and dissemination
