    The Plastic Pandemic: Assessing the Environmental Impact of Single-Use Plastic Bags

    Single-use plastics, which are designed for disposal after a single use, have evolved to

    be a considerable contributor to complex environmental problems, and thereby pose a threat

    to biodiversity. The ecological ramifications of single-use plastics, like plastic debris

    pollution, animal consumption, and worldwide degradation, have far-reaching implications.

    In order to effectively streamline the ecological costs linked to the production and

    consumption of single-use plastic bags, governments and scholars have to address

    environmental externalities. Although many governments and environmental agencies have

    engaged campaigns and pushed for initiatives to reduce the adverse footprint of single-use

    plastics, much is still needed to advance sustainable ecological systems. The main goal of the

    study is to assess the environmental influence of single-use plastic bags. This goal is

    increasingly motivated by the urgent need to protect the ecological systems from further

    deterioration and offer sustainable solutions concerning the issue. The study hypothesizes that

    the potential negative impact of single-use plastic bags include ecological, physical, and

    environmental implications. The study intends to address the following concerns: (1) what

    are the adverse environmental effects of single-use plastic bags? (2) What other stakeholders

    have countermeasures that address plastic bag pollution? Exploring these study questions

    offers meaningful insights into the proposal's rationale to offer practical implications for

    reducing debris pollution while advancing the study hypothesis. Single-use plastic bags are

    increasingly omnipresent globally, and their consumption is soaring. Therefore, this study

    should seek viable opportunities for interventions to ensure practical and sustainable

    strategies for mitigating their adverse impacts are proposed. Overall, the study should add to

    the growing scholarship on single-use plastic debasements and their associated piled

    consequences on the global ecosystem.
