摘要:Plastics are low molecular weight organic materials, that are non degradable in the natural environment. Generation of plastic waste constitutes a major part of Municipal Solid Waste. This creates a lot of environment pollution, which in turn affects ecosystem and human health. The solution to tackle this dreadful situation lies in following 3R namely Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Waste plastics can be recycled and used in several ways including construction of roads. The current scenario focuses much on degradable biopolymers, an ecofriendly concept to protect the environment.
