Author(s) Dr. Vandana Rathore

Abstract Various factories manufacture numerous amounts of plastic bags that people use appropriately in carrying their shopping due to their affordability and ease of use, although no consideration is placed on the harmful effects of such materials, or, in some cases, discussed seriously. The following essay focuses on how sustainable building material will reduce environmental degradation and create healthy buildings that could be sustainable to both occupants and the surrounding environment. Plastics have become an essential component in our daily lives and play a significant role in the current practices. Plastic material causes severe environmental destruction by polluting lands and seas. The introduction of guidelines for manufacturing and usage of plastics would assist in minimizing the negative impacts in our environment and health. It is clear that plastics provide many social benefits and have potential advancements in technology and medicine. Although issues regarding usage and disposal are varied, they may include waste buildup in landfills and in natural ecosystems, physical hazards for animals due to ingestion and entrapment by plastics, contamination by chemicals that may leach from plastics materials, and possible transport of chemicals in plastics to wildlife and humans.
