Plastic waste has been a major problem in most developing countries causing a number of environmental problems due to their nature of being non biodegradable. The biggest problem faced with plastic waste management is poor disposal of plastic waste. Plastics impact the environment through all stages of their existence from manufacture, to processing, to utilization and disposal. It is worthwhile to note that more of the plastics are disposed of in the environment more than what is removed from the environment.
