Abstract
Marine based plastics contribute to one of the major sources of plastic waste pollution across the globe, for which many solutions have been proposed. However, there is very little emphasis on the development of waste treatment options, as most of the solutions focus on the collection and prevention of plastic waste.
In this case study, I’ve developed a questionnaire to investigate the issues surrounding the involvement of fishermen, Self- help groups and organisations who have adopted the strategy to use plastic waste as a substitute for road pavement.
As there is a lack of proper technology for the treatment of marine plastic globally, the present research intends to drive more people to this area. The survey aims to create awareness and encourage implementation of technologies and research in the field. This in turn, it is hoped, will increase public risk perception about plastic pollution and its adverse impacts.
Keywords: Plastic, waste, Pollution, Questionnaire, environmental impacts, development.
