Due to the ever increasing usage of non degradable plastics in day to day life, and due to the environmental/pollution hazards faced due to its non degradable characteristics, this research was undertaken by Bioplast Inc. to make polyethylene totally biodegradable.

Enhancing polyethylene products to undergo a change in its chemical structure under environmental conditions. The loss of properties of polyethylene while contacting with soils and water may vary as measured by standard list appropriate to plastic and the application in a period.

Bioplast biodegradable technology enables polyethylene (HDPE and LLDPE) to biodegrade in atmospheric conditions in soil and compost thereby releasing CO2.

The plastic treatment is used in this technology as a source for growth of bacteria culture. The inhibited Bacterial culture has been enumerated under laboratory tests. The total fungal and bacterial counts in biodegradable polyethylene bags have been observed as CFU/g*. A definite bacterial group found alive and active in these bags treated with Bioplast enzymes proves that the soil bacteria and the bacteria group present in the bag jointly eats away at the polyethylene film leading it to total biodegradation.

Bacterial and fungal counts were enumerated and classified by Vimta Labs. The total fungal count is
