Abstract: Plastic pollution, regarded a major environmental issue demands great attention as it leads to other hazardous pollutions due to its long term of degradation process of plastics and release of toxic substances into the environment during the degradation process. The International union for conservation of nature (IUCN) has estimated that around 300 million tons of plastic waste is produced in a year which is disposed into the environment (1).Plastics have favourable properties like high tensile strength, malleability and economically cheap, hence are widely used for various applications in manufacturing of majority of products from household products to industrial products. But these.....
