Say NO To Single Use Plastic Presented By P.M.Yaduvanshi Civil Engineering Department Sir. Bhavsinhji Polytechnic Institute B H A V N A G A R
Plastic is a lightweight, hygienic and resistant material which can be moulded in a variety of ways and utilized in a wide range of applications.
Formed by addition polymerization Soften on heating because bonding forces between chains break by heat or pressure. Can be reshaped or reused. Usually soft, weak and less brittle. Soluble in suitable solvents. Formed by condensation polymerization Do not soften on heating. On prolonged heating, charring of polymer is caused. Can not be reshaped or reused. Usually hard, strong and more brittle. Insoluble in organic solvents. THERMOSETS THERMOPLASTICS
Single Use Plastics Single-use plastics (disposable plastics) are commonly used for plastic packaging and include items intended to be used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These include: Grocery bags Food packaging Bottles Straws, containers, cups cutlery
Grocery bags Food packaging
bottles straws
Cups & Containers Cutlery
Plastic Decoration & Thermocol Items
Global plastic production by industrial sector, 2015
Single-use plastic bags are used to carry goods and usually provided to customers at the point of sale. The most common shopping bags are made of a type of plastic called polyethylene – or polythene – a tough, light, flexible, synthetic resin obtained by polymerizing ethylene. In South Africa, there are so many P lastic B ags littering the environment that many joke that plastic bags are “ New national flower”
Environmental impacts: Take up to thousands of years to decompose Hazards to wildlife on land and in the ocean Plastic bags can choke waterways and exacerbate natural disasters. ( floods in Bangladesh ) In 1988, poor drainage resulting from plastic bag litter clogging drains contributed to devastating floods in Bangladesh, causing several deaths as two-thirds of the country was submerged
Toxic chemicals such as styrene and benzene (carcinogenic) By blocking sewage systems and providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests, plastic bags can raise the risk of transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. if ingested by fish or other marine life, can enter our food chain . Health and Social impacts
Health and Social impacts Plastics blocking the airways and stomachs of hundreds of species Plastic waste is often burned for heat or cooking, exposing people to toxic emissions
T he future costs of removing all single-use plastics accumulating in the environment is estimated as higher than the costs of preventing littering today Economic impacts:
1. Waste Management System Improvements
1. Waste Management System Improvements Segregation of waste at source Segregation of Plastics By Codes
2. Promotion of Eco-friendly Alternatives
3. Voluntary Reduction Strategies
4. Framing Regulatory And Economic Instruments

5. Social Awareness/ Public Pressure
Despite initial resistance from the local government, the governor eventually signed a memorandum of understanding to phase out plastic bags by 2018. Two teenagers campaigned for over four years to get plastic bags banned from the island, starting with a petition that collected over 100,000 signatures. 5. Social Awareness/ Public Pressure

Plastics – Use in Construction Industry Roads with use of plastic waste
Plastic roads vs conventional roads Overall reduction in bitumen consumption by 10‐15% Enhanced load carrying strength Less wear and tear, i.e. longer life Laying 1 Km of road requires 10 Lakh carry bags Prevents release of 3 tonnes of CO2 (through disposal by burning) into the atmosphere Increased road strength (Marshall Stability Value)
