There is a dearth of scientific studies in terms of investigating the premise of Bangladesh’s plastic usage and waste generation. The gross production in the plastic industry, the manner waste is being disposed of, the management of plastic waste, and its impact on human health and the environment- all of it are speculated and reviewed exclusively based on the existing literature. Despite incorporating a colossal sum of plastic squanders, unfortunately, there is neither any viable data on the exact amount of waste it produces nor there is any specific plastic-waste disposal management guideline in Bangladesh. Worldwide several developed countries have adapted quite a few innovative ways to reduce their staggering stacks of plastic waste products as they have realized how threatful plastic is to their life and the environment, as a whole in the country. As a solution, they have begun exporting plastic waste to developing countries to ensure their environmental safety from plastic pollution. Previously, china was receiving the greatest amount of plastic waste but in 2018, the Chinese government banned the import of 32 kinds of solid wastes including plastic waste. As a result of china’s ban, on developed countries, a huge amount of mixed up, disorganized waste blended with plastic waste was entering the countries of southeast Asia including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Bangladesh.
