Assess the Effectiveness Of Information Booklet Regarding Recycle Of Plastic Waste Among Community People

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Plastic is widely utilized all around the world. India is one of the top 15 polluters of plastic in the world, producing over 26,000 tonnes of plastic waste daily. On August 20, the LokSabha forbade the use of single-use plastic water bottles and other items. The government-run railroads will adhere to the same rules at all stations and aboard trains. According to a 2018 analysis by the Energy and Resource Institute in Delhi (TERI), which used information from India's federal pollution control agency, the country's annual output of solid garbage is made up 8% by plastic, the most of which is produced in Delhi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad (CPCB) A total of 60 community members in Paloti Sawangi (M), Wardha, participated in this study.METHOD: For this study the Non- Probability quantitative sampling technique had been used.RESULT: One group per pre-test and post-test in the study's design. The knowledge of effective recycling and trash disposal practices for plastic was assessed. The study's findings showed that the average post-test score was 20.46, greater than the table value of 0.0001 S,p0.05 level, with a calculated pair-paired "t" value of 43.25. Additionally, the respondent's knowledge exceeded the mean pre-test knowledge score, which was 7.05 overall with a standard deviation of 2.25.CONCLUSION: Due to this, the information brochure on the risks of using plastic and correct disposal was successful and statistically significant. The study discovered no association between any specific demographic characteristic and the post-test knowledge score at a significance level of 0.05. The data analysis included both descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
