Polythene collected from various places is washed in the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on June 15, 2026. The washing and drying of polythene in open areas along the riverbank result in plastic fragments mixing into the river, forming a plastic layer on the riverbed. This layer affects dredging efforts and the river's navigability, impacting water flow and groundwater recharge. Chemicals and microplastics from the polythene are also affecting oxygen levels in the water and aquatic biodiversity.

Plastic waste is visible in the snow-capped mountains at 13,000 feet in Phadamchen, Sikkim, India, on April 17, 2026. Over 88% of waste in some areas is plastic, primarily from non-recyclable food packaging associated with tourism and local consumption. Microplastics are found in snow, glaciers, and remote lakes, impacting water sources and ecosystems. Despite Sikkim's green policies, plastic pollution remains a significant environmental challenge.
