Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is extensively used in plastic products and its accumulation has become a source of pollution. A novel bacterium- Ideonellasakaiensis 201-F6, we have isolated due to its ability to use PET as its major energy and carbon source. Our aim is to use the plastic polymer to break into carbon atoms and which are further being used to prepare degradable Bio plastic. In plastic recycling, chemically-broken down PET is re-synthesized to make new PET. Therefore, it is possible to replace the breakdown process with a biological one to produce degradable plastic. We have used an environment which was rich in CO2 and constant energy resources. The bacteria were being introduce then to the non-degradable plastics and after due course of time we got the bio degradable PET. This amount of PET and time can be varied by the amount of non degradable plastics and bacteria and also on the contents of the plastic products.
