High urbanization rates and changes in the life styles and steady rise in living standards have resulted in the increase of solid waste both in type and volume. The rapid growth of spring water industry, trade and services has accelerated the generation of plastic bottles. Now a days the plastic is one of the most used material in world wide. The advantage of using plastics produced from polyethylene terephthalate (PETs) include bottles in packaging water, soft drinks, soda etc. However, they are non-biodegradable and can stay unchanged for as long as 4500years on earth causing menace to our lands, streams and drainage systems. Plastic waste accounts for more than serious of the municipal solid waste stream in our country. The problem of plastic waste is not only limited to India rather it is a worldwide phenomenon. The world’s annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tons in the 1950’s to more than 100 million tons; thus, twenty (20) times more plastic is produced today than in the past fifty (50) years ago. This simply means that more resources are being used to meet the increased demand for plastic, thus, more plastic waste is being generated.
