A REVIEW ON BIODEGRADATION AND EXAMINATION OF PLASTIC USING MICROBES ENZYME.

The growing accumulation of plastic wastes is one of the main environmental challenges currently faced by modern societies. These wastes are considered as serious global problem because of their effects on all forms of life. There is thus an urgent need to demonstrate effective eco-environmental techniques to overcome the hazardous environmental impacts of traditional disposal paths. The general techniques in preventing plastic waste as landfill, incineration, recycling are considered less effective as they release some hazardous materials to the environment. Thus, the appropriate technique is needed to overcome this problem. Biodegradation is an enzymatic degradation involving fungal and bacterial strains for its degradation. Therefore, this review discusses about various physico-chemical properties affecting degradation of plastics, with various enzymes and microbial strains involved in it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
