When plastic bags were first put on the market in the 1970s, both customers and retailers adopted them with great favor. The widespread use of disposable plastic bags has raised serious environmental concerns. As the population grows, so do the number of shops, markets, malls, and vegetable vendors in large cities, often located along pavements. Consequently, people frequently purchase daily necessities and vegetables in single-use plastic carry bags on their way home from work or business. This has led to a continual increase in both the consumption and disposal of plastic products. A survey was conducted in North West Delhi to understand the usage and reuse of plastic carry bags among the general public and to assess their awareness of the environmental impact of plastic products. The present study aims to ascertain the usage and recycling patterns of single-use plastics and evaluate the degree of awareness regarding their detrimental effects on the environment. The study will make use of primary and secondary sources of information. A survey that is being performed in different parts of North West Delhi will be used to gather primary data. Tables and graphs will be used for descriptive data analysis. The results of the poll show that most participants use plastic bags on a regular basis and are aware of its impact on the environment, irrespective of their age, gender, career, or level of education. By identifying the elements that lead to environmental contamination, this study hopes to add to the body of existing literature. In addition, the government may enact stringent laws and carry out awareness campaigns to lessen environmental harm.
