Biodegradable plastics are plastics that are decomposed by the action of living organisms, usually bacteria.
Two basic classes of biodegradable plastics exist:Bioplastics, whose components are derived from renewable raw materials, and plastics made from petrochemicalscontaining biodegradable additives which enhance biodegradation.

Degradable plastic :As with so many technological advances, plastics bring not just enormous benefits to society but also grave threats if misused.  On the one hand they allow us to make goods that would otherwise be impossible to fabricate economically, goods that we rely on in everyday life. On the other hand, plastics have two great environmental handicaps.
