Abstract

This comprehensive article delves into the pressing issue of plastic and microplastic pollution, a global environmental crisis that has severe implications for human and marine life. The focus is on India, a major contributor to plastic waste, and the legal measures it has taken to manage and mitigate this issue. The article critically examines the effectiveness of initiatives such as the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, legislation on plastic waste management, and the implementation of extended producer responsibility. It also highlights the health hazards posed by plastic pollution, particularly in densely populated slum areas. Furthermore, the article explores the global perspective on plastic pollution, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and stringent regulations. The latter part of the article introduces the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to combat plastic pollution. It discusses how AI can aid in monitoring, detecting, analyzing, and ultimately reducing plastic and microplastic pollution, thereby supporting human efforts to address this environmental catastrophe while safeguarding human rights. The article argues for the integration of AI in environmental strategies, underscoring its potential to revolutionize the way we approach and handle plastic pollution.
