Abstract
The widespread use of disposable plastic items has triggered a global catastrophe with severe repercussions for the economy and the environment. The local business community, which is intimately involved in this problem, plays a crucial role in reducing the damage caused by toxic plastics. The need for all-encompassing solutions is emphasised by the durability of plastics and the dangers posed by microplastics to human health. While laws like the Single-Use Plastic Directive are positive developments, more has to be done to ensure that policies are effectively implemented. This includes the use of bulk dispensers and the introduction of plastic-free programmes, as well as the adoption of reusable packaging, biodegradable materials, and environmentally friendly promotions. A holistic strategy relies heavily on supplier collaboration, employee buy-in, community involvement, educating customers, and progress reporting.
