Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of plastic waste pollution on the environment and its mitigation efforts in Pekanbaru. This study was conducted using qualitative methods supported by reference sources and literature, both books, research results and national and international scientific journals. From the results of this study, it was found that plastic waste can have a very large impact on the environment. Even plastic materials that enter the environment as plastic waste will not be decomposed in the near future. The types of plastic waste in the form of filaments that are commonly found from observations are plastic bags, used plastic bottles for drinks, plastic wrappers and food and beverage packaging and sachet waste.
