Research Status and Perspectives of Plastic Degradation

Abstract

Contemporary society has witnessed a large variety of hazard plastic made. Plastic waste has become a major concern for individuals, governments, and organizations all over the world. The extensive use of plastics in producing consumer goods has resulted in huge amounts of plastic waste that has to be managed appropriately. Plastic waste is hazardous to the environment because it takes a long time to decompose. This article starts with a range of explanation techniques and outlines their principles and origins, for examples of common practices in today's culture include photocatalytic degradation, thermal degradation, biodegradation, etc. In the hope that they might effectively decompose these toxic compounds, many people are now pursuing study in these areas in order to offer a quick analysis of the current major explanation methods. A rise in future deteriorating methods can alleviate the negative effects on both human and animals’ life, and thus a healthier ecological environment can be achieved.
