AB  - Plastic comprises of variety of polymers and has many applications, but the waste 
      generated by plastic pose threat to environment and marine life. Plastic can be 
      classified into two types: thermoplastics and thermosetting and are divided into 
      7 different categories: (Polyethylene Terephthalate [PETE], High-Density 
      Polyethylene [HDPE], Polyvinyl Chloride [PVC], Low-Density Polyethylene [LDPE], 
      Polypropylene [PP], Polystyrene or Styrofoam [PS] & Polycarbonate or ABS 
      [others]). To curb the deleterious effects of plastic waste various methods have 
      been devised and utilized that include chemical, physical and biological 
      treatments. One of the aspects primarily focused by the researchers is the 
      phenomenon of biodegradation and there are many microorganisms (bacteria) that 
      have the ability to carry out this particular process. These bacteria assist 
      biodegradation by production of several enzymes like PETases and MHETases. There 
      are few microorganisms that have been listed which cannot be applied for 
      industrial use due to its low biodegradation capacity. To overcome this problem, 
      PHA is one of the alternatives to replace the synthetic plastic due to its high 
      degrading capacity.
