Abstract
Plastic waste is a big problem for people's health and the environment around the world. Plastic makes up the third most waste in the world, and the amount of plastic waste is growing because the world's population and per capita usage are both rising. Malaysia has been the biggest importer of plastic waste in the world since 2017. It keeps an eye on global trends in total plastic waste production and single-use plastic usage. These things make the country's waste management system very difficult to use. This study describes the current state of making and dealing with plastic waste in Malaysia, including options like burning, recycling, and throwing it away. This research focuses on how to recycle used plastic bottles into fashion materials that can be used for something else. This study chose two different types of subjects to find out how plastics are managed in Malaysia right now. Respondents were design students and fashion buyers. Each group looked at a different problem with the hope that the results would help fashion students come up with ideas for making things out of plastic waste.
