Plastic is a compound which can not be degraded easily ,by degrading microorganism ,there are plastic degradating microbes but their degradating action takes a long time, so a degradable plastic is necessary to protect the environment from polymer pollution.
Because most plastics are created through the use of hydrocarbons, specifically oil. By recycling these plastics we are reducing the drain on the oil reserves, dropping the demand for crude oil and reducing the cost to everyone. By dropping demand, less oil is pumped out of the ground leading to fewer risks of oil spills and extending the usable reserves.
