The rise in universal population and accompanying demands have directed towards an exponential surge in the generation of polymeric waste. The estimate predicts that world‐wide plastic production will rise to approximately 590 million metric tons by 2050, whereas 5000 million more tires will be routinely abandoned by 2030. Handling this waste and its detrimental consequences on the Earth's ecosystem and human health presents a significant challenge. Converting the wastes into carbon‐based functional materials viz. activated carbon, graphene, and nanotubes is considered the most scientific and adaptable method. Herein, we provide an overview of the various sources of polymeric wastes, modes of build‐up, impact on the environment, and management approaches. Update on advances and novel modifications made in methodologies for converting diverse types of polymeric wastes into carbon nanomaterials over the last five years are given. A remarkable focus has been made to comprehend the applications of polymeric waste derived carbon nanomaterials (PWDCNMs) in the CO2 capture, removal of heavy metal ions, supercapacitor‐based energy storage and water splitting with an emphasis on the correlation between PWDCNMs' properties and their performances. This review offers insights into emerging developments in the upcycling of polymeric wastes and their applications in environment and energy.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Identifikasi sampah ukuran makro dan meso dilakukan dengan beberapa tahapan yaitu mengeringkan dan membersihkan sampah dari air dan pasir, kemudian memilah sampah berdasarkan klasifikasi sampah, selanjutnya mengidentifikasi sampah berdasarkan sistem klasifikasi UNEP [5], lalu menghitung dan menimbang sampah per jenis, setelah itu menghitung sampah menggunakan persamaan rumus komposisi dan kepadatan jumlah [4] serta kepadatan berat [6]. [7].…”
