Tiivistelmä
Although the core of this thesis deals with plastic waste management in Bangladesh, before going there it touches issues ranging from the basic chemistry of plastics, different types of the material and the manufacturing process to give readers an idea with fundamentals of
plastic science. Then it finally moves on to the discipline of plastics waste management.This research first provides a theoretical framework on the aforementioned topics by discussing relevant materials. Then it moves on to the empirical part where a qualitative approach had been undertaken. The qualitative study is based on three expert interviews. After that, by comparing the theoretical framework with expert opinions the research results were drawn, where a list of observations and recommendations were presented. As for limitations, the small interview size could be mentioned, since the research area was the plastics waste management of whole Bangladesh the three interviews is too narrow for a broad conclusion. Finally, this research can serve basic guide for waste managers to better manage the plastic scraps.
