Abstract	Abstract: Nowadays, plastics are increasingly being used in our daily life activities, including the packaging in different food and brewing companies, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and other production sectors need to pack their end products for efficient and safer product's delivery to the community. Plastics are produced through the biochemical process of polymerization or polycondensation. The post-use of generated plastic waste has many adverse impacts on the environment if not processed and managed in a proper way. This review aims to discuss the lifecycle of plastic products according to their different categories. There are various plastic waste management strategies; plastic waste dumping in landfills is still the most commonly employed strategy. Being non biodegradable, plastic waste dumping in landfills creates several environmental and human health problems. Numerous research studies have been conducted recently to determine safe and ecologically beneficial methods of plastic waste handling. This article performed an analysis of various plastic waste management strategies and their environmental benefits. It has been concluded that among the six plastic waste management techniques (landfills, recycling, pyrolysis to produce RDF and SRF, road construction and concrete production), road construction and concrete production are the two most effective strategies. This is due to significant benefits, such as ease of localization, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and increased durability and sustainability of manufactured materials, structures, and roadways. Recycling has equal benefits and drawbacks. In comparison, pyrolysis is favorable due to the production of char and fuel, but high energy requirements limit their benefits.
