Abstract:
Plastics are inexpensive, lightweight and durable materials, which can readily be moulded into a variety of products that find use in a wide range of applications. As a consequence, the production of plastics has increased markedly over the last 60 years. However, current levels of their usage and disposal generate several environmental problems. Recycling is one of the most important actions currently available to reduce these impacts and represents one of the most dynamic areas in the plastics industry today. This research aims at understanding the awareness level among young college going students about the ill-effects of use of plastics and their perception towards the new legislation prohibiting the usage of plastic bags. A survey was developed and administered to 614 youth. The research background in conjunction with the data collected indicated these findings firstly certain changes have been noted in the behaviour of college students after the ban on plastic, secondly students are aware of the effects of use of plastic bags on the environment and finally college students believe that the ban on plastic will have positive results.
