The governments across the world including Sultanate of Oman is taking initiatives to reduce plastic waste generation in the country by eliminating single use plastics such as plastic bags. In the past couple of decades tremendous growth is plastic and related industries is observed which contributed to the increase in the economy of countries. However, this has caused damage to the environment. 1. Analyze the reasons by taking suitable examples, polymer structures and the reactions as to why the synthetics polymer poses threat to the environment. 2. Suggest the alternatives for synthetic polymers which can have minimal impact to the environment and discuss the associated engineering challenges and your views to overcome these challenges.
