· Another reason for the prevalence of the plastic wastes in the dumps is the common use of polyethylene shopping bags and the sachet water production and sales that evolved since the late 1990s. In a typical market for food items almost every item is handed to the buyer in a mini polyethylene bag that is not re-used.

Plastic wastes biodegradation Mechanisms challenges and
Plastic wastes can be degraded by either physicochemical (abiotic) processes or through biodegradation (biotic). Breaking down of the polymeric material by physical forces of mechanical nature is usually considered the first step that plays a vital role in any degradation process ( Kyrikou and Briassoulis 2007 Li et al. 2019a Li et al. 2019b Ali et al. 2021a ).

· Plastic seems all pervasive and unavoidable. Since the 1960s our use of plastic has increased dramatically and subsequently the portion of our garbage that is made up of plastic has also increased from 1 of the total municipal solid waste stream ( garbage) to approximately 13 (US Environmental Protection Agency).

· Plastic has a wonderful array of properties that have made it ideal for many of these applications. However the rate at which we are demanding these items is growing rapidly and is unsustainable. The total world plastic production in the first decade of this century has roughly equalled the total plastic production of the entire 20th century.

Microbial Degradation and Valorization of Plastic Wastes
· A growing accumulation of plastic wastes has become a severe environmental and social issue. It is urgent to develop innovative approaches for the disposal of plastic wastes. In recent years reports on biodegradation of synthetic plastics by microorganisms or enzymes have sprung up and these offer a possibility to develop biological treatment technology for plastic wastes.

· Annual global plastic production has increased from 2 to 380 million tonnes since 1950 and is projected to double by 2035 and almost quadruple by 2050. European countries lack the capacity to manage growing amounts of plastic waste in circular and sustainable ways. In early 2019 the EU exported around 150 000 tonnes of plastic waste per month.

· Collection of plastic wastes can be done by bring-schemes or through kerbside collection. Bring-schemes tend to result in low collection rates in the absence of either highly committed public behaviour or deposit-refund schemes that impose a direct economic incentive to participate. Hence the general trend is for collection of recyclable
