Plastics are chemically synthesized polymers made up of two sets of plastics -
thermosetting and thermoplastics. There different properties have made it to enter in different
sectors and replaced the conventional materials. There durability has made it non biodegradable
and has also affected the environment due to its large production according to the need of the
growing population. The use of biological means to degrade these plastics has been extensively
studied by using different microorganisms collected from mainly contaminated sites. This paper
discuss about the different screening methods for the detection of plastic degrading
microorganisms. The different enzymes synthesized by microorganisms degrade different types
of plastics.
