Abstract : One of the major environmental issues worldwide nowadays is the plastic waste rising sharply as a result of rapid industrialization, urbanization, and an increase in the use of single, use plastics. This research paper analytically explores the plastic waste management practices and their impacts on the environmental resilience through the use of secondary data sources. It is informed versatile data from international organizations, government reports, as well as peer, reviewed publications. The findings indicate that lack of recycling facilities, unrecyclable material mixing, and less environmental regulation enforcement negatively impact the ecosystem resilience. Nevertheless, the countries that extensively implement circular economy paradigms, EPR, and have stringent plastic bans are the ones showing better environmental results. In the end, the paper stresses that only integrated waste management systems can greatly contribute to improving the environment's resilience.
