Apparently, as the world accommodates inhabitants, the world provides lodgings for their wastes as well. The supply must meet the demand, and so manufacturing of products has been left and right, from genuine to synthetic, and from single-purpose to multi-purpose. As humankind generates more products, even more wastes are being created. When waste gets out of hand, inhospitable surroundings take place.
One of the major contributors of waste is widely known to be plastics. Plastics are synthetic materials made out of resins, polymers, cellulosic derivatives, casein materials and proteins that can be used in place of other materials such as glass, wood, and metal (Le Guern Lytle, 2016). Plastics are dangerous since they are processed using chemicals like propylene, phenol, ethylene, styrene and benzene (Tesar, 1991).
