The framework comprises three components: the policy component, which focuses on developing eco-labeling standards, extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations, and incentives for businesses adopting sustainable plastic alternatives; the behavioral change component, which leverages consumer engagement strategies, digital awareness platforms, and reward-based systems to promote responsible plastic consumption and disposal; and the technology component, which emphasizes the integration of Blockchain, IoT, AI, ML, and DL in plastic waste management, creating a robust system for tracking, analyzing, and optimizing the entire life cycle of plastic waste.By combining advanced technology, regulatory support, and behavioral interventions, this invention provides a scalable and sustainable solution to plastic pollution. The framework contributes significantly to SDG-15 by protecting terrestrial ecosystems from plastic waste while promoting a circular economy for plastic use. This innovation has potential applications in packaging, waste management, and policy development, driving global sustainability efforts."
