Plastics have become a significant threat to natural ecosystems as well as human health. The use and consumption of plastics improves our quality of life significantly, but it is critical to transition to more sustainable alternatives. Thus, this study proposes an investigation into the impact of single use plastic products during pandemic on the impact to the environment from the perspective of the user, industry, and waste management. A pilot study was conducted to examine the strength of the questionnaire in collecting on the environmental impacts of single use plastic during coronavirus pandemic with two groups of participants (industry and users) distributed across two countries (Libya and Malaysia). SPSS was used to test the questionnaires' strength with 40 participants, 20 in each nation. The reliability test results with Cronbach's Alpha predicted values of 0.7-0.86 and actual data Alpha values 0.87-0.93, normal test of variance inflation factor ranging between 1 and 5, skewness and kurtosis values of -1.343 to -0.076 and 5.312 to -0.024 respectively confirmed the strength of the questionnaires as benchmarked in the literature. Further, the participants' responses to the quality of the questionnaire revealed the strength and applicability of this questionnaire for wider data collections.
