Received Date: Oct 20, 2022 / Published Date: Nov 07, 2022
Abstract
Plastic products have played significant Places in guarding people during the COVID- 19 epidemic. The wide use of particular defensive gear created a massive dislocation in the force chain and waste disposal system. Millions of discarded single- use plastics (masks, gloves, aprons, and bottles of sanitizers) have been added to the terrestrial terrain and could beget a swell in plastics washing up the ocean plagues and littering the seabed. This paper attempts to assess the environmental vestiges of the global plastic wastes generated during COVID- 19 and dissect the implicit impacts associated with plastic pollution. The quantum of plastic wastes generated worldwide since the outbreak is estimated at1.6 million tons/ day.
