Abstract
As the content of the paper draws up on the theme “Beat the Plastic Pollution”, it focuses more on the current understanding and the concerns surrounding the issue of widespread use of plastic especially the single-use plastic. The annual global production of plastic is 300 million tonnes with roughly 50% disposed of after a single-use. Accumulation of plastic products are adversely affecting the animal habitats and as well as humans by polluting the environment. Pollution is everywhere which is killing us, from the highest reaches of our atmosphere to the darkest depths of our oceans. But together we can beat the pollution; this paper is an attempt to tackle the plastic pollution and to explore those challenges which are disturbing the ecosystem in different ways. International and national policies and innovations are been reviewed in combating the plastic pollution. The paper concludes that reduction is possible only when there is change in behaviour to refuse plastic.
