With the advance technology and the increase in the population, plastics product were found one of the part in every aspect of our life. Plastics are a broad name given to different polymers with high molecular weight, which also can be possible degraded by various processes. Plastics have wide range of application in each and vary aspect of our life. Every one using different kind of plastics materials every day because of it’s easily available and low cost of production. But Plastics material remain in nature for decades. One of the ways to solve such a problem is to find out ways for degradation of Plastics. Degradation means change in polymer properties due to chemical, physical or biological reactions resulting in bond scissions and subsequent chemical transformation. A biodegradable plastic is an innovation means of solving the plastics disposal problem from the standpoint of development of new materials. In view of facts concerning plastic bio degradation, in this paper, An attempt has been made to take a short review on degradation, types of degradation, biodegradation, mechanism of biodegradation and its applications.
