Current Developments and Issues in the Biodegradation Approach to the Sustainable Management of Plastic Trash

Tara Shanakar

Synthetic plastics' adaptability and appealing qualities have significantly influenced how widely they are used. Plastic pollution, on the other hand, is a result of the massive buildup of plastic garbage in the environment due to its very refractory nature. Current methods for reducing the accumulation of plastic wastes are insufficient, and new, sustainable ways for combating plastic pollution are urgently needed. Due to its gentler and less energy-intensive circumstances, plastic biodegradation has become recognised in this context as a sustainable and environmentally beneficial method of treating the accumulation of plastic waste. A lot of study has been done recently with the goal of finding bacteria and enzymes that can break down plastic. With an emphasis on recent developments and an all-encompassing analysis of the state of plastic biodegradation, this paper attempts to advancements in this area. Also, the difficulties facing plastic biodegradation now are examined, and the prospects for plastic biodegradation's continued advancement in the future are highlighted.
