Abstract

High density polyethylene a synthetic polymer constitutes an important part of our life since decades. All the plastic waste generated by human activities is entering into ecosystem and causing environmental pollution. Natural degradation of high-density polyethylene is difficult and time consuming. Chemical methods used to overcome this problem have resulted in further pollution by releasing toxic chemicals during degradation process. Plastic pollution may be managed with the fewest negative effects by microbial degradation, a promising environmentally friendly technique. Six bacterial isolates in total were obtained from plastic waste dump site in Solapur, Maharashtra.
