The plastic-derived product, nowadays, becomes an indispensable commodity for different purposes. A huge amount of used plastic causes environmental hazards that turn in danger for marine life, reduces the fertility of soil, and contamination of ground water. Management of this enormous plastic waste is challenging in particular for developing countries like Bangladesh. Lack of facilities, infrastructure development, and insufficient budget for waste management are some of the prime causes of improper plastic management in Bangladesh. In this study, the route of plastic waste production and current plastic waste management system in Bangladesh have been reviewed extensively. It emerges that no technical and improved methods are adapted in the plastic management system. A set of the sustainable plastic management system has been proposed along with the challenges that would emerge during the implementation these strategies. Successful execution of the proposed systems would enhance the quality of plastic waste management in Bangladesh and offers enormous energy from waste.
如今，塑料衍生产品已成为各种用途不可或缺的商品。大量使用的塑料对环境造成危害，对海洋生物构成威胁，降低了土壤的肥力，并污染了地下水。管理如此巨大的塑料废物对孟加拉国等发展中国家来说是一项挑战。缺乏设施、基础设施发展和用于废物管理的预算不足是孟加拉国塑料管理不当的一些主要原因。在这项研究中，广泛审查了孟加拉国塑料废物产生的途径和当前的塑料废物管理制度。研究结果表明，在塑料管理制度中没有采用任何技术和改进方法。提出了一套可持续的塑料管理制度，并提出了在实施这些战略时可能出现的挑战。拟议系统的成功实施将提高孟加拉国塑料废物管理的质量，并提供大量废物能源。
