Plastics are widely used in all the applications and in our daily life. Some plastic items become waste and can't be reused. But there are some plastic items which can be reused.

There are some advantages in plastic recycling.

-- Conservation of non-renewable fossil fuels.
-- Reduced energy consumption
-- Reduced amount of solid waste going to landfill.
-- Reduced emissions of gases like carbon-dioxide, nitrogen-oxide and sulphur-dioxide.

The biggest resource of plastic waste is households. The unique environmentally beneficial material science is converted into value added products and services for the industrial and consumer applications.

Plastics are very important in our life and we can't avoid the usage of plastics. They are used in packaging, building materials, consumer products and many more applications. So we can't avoid the plastics usage. Plastic recycling is used to produce the environmentally friendly products.

Hazards of Plastics:

Plastics are mostly produced from petrochemicals. Due to improper disposal of plastic materials, environment pollution occurs. The plastic bags and sheets will not allow air and water to go into the earth which will affect the soil fertility.

Biodegradable Plastics:

Biodegradable plastics are derived from the renewable raw materials. These are the plastics that will decompose in the natural environment. The degradation of plastics can be achieved by enabling microorganisms in the environment to metabolize the plastic films metallic structure to produce environment harmless material. The usage of these biodegradable plastics will avoid using the non-renewable resources. Biodegradable plastics will degrade over time if it exposed to sun and air.
