An analytical relationship retrieval scenario with temporal information data approaching to plastic waste-leaks into marine environments

Currently, plastic waste leaking into the environment is a major environmental issue worldwide. Because of the many alternative characteristics of plastic, its use is dramatically increasing while the hazard of plastic waste entering marine environments has been ignored for a long time. Information on mismanaged plastic waste is important for tracking the amount of plastic waste leaking into the environment and supporting local governance of plastic waste management. Thus, there is now a crucial need to urgently create and develop a simple method for plastic waste and plastic debris analysis. This paper presents a method to acquire temporal information on plastic waste using existing resource information. This method makes it possible: 1) to identify the significant correlation variables associated with plastic waste and 2) to develop the relationship retrieval scenario and the model of relationship retrieval scenario, which contribute to plastic waste leaking into marine environments (plastic debris). This method provides a flexible tool that can be used widely with specific patterns and minimal variables for analysis. The results have strong coefficients of determination value and high accuracy.
