Abstract: One of the biggest environmental problems of the 21st century is plastic pollution. In order to handle the increasing amounts of plastic waste, traditional recycling and waste management techniques are frequently ineffective and insufficient. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently become an essential tool for enhancing recycling effectiveness, managing plastic waste, and creating sustainable plastic substitutes. With an emphasis on AI-enhanced recycling procedures, the expansion of recycling technologies, and the creation of biodegradable plastic substitutes, this paper examines the current status of AI-driven chemistry solutions in plastic waste management. The practical uses of AI in this field are highlighted by real-world case studies, which further illustrate how AI has the potential to completely transform the plastic waste management sector.
