Introduction

In our everyday life, plastic items plays a significant contribution for coating and wiring, greenhouse, films, and covers, packaging, containers and bags. In medicinal goods, plastics like blister packing of tablets and capsules, disposable syringes, joint replacement prostheses, catheters, heart valves, inter venous (IV) fluid bottles, blood bags, etc., that have expressively aided in being supportive to the life of the humans. It contains the lightweight (energy saving), exhibit unique, versatile properties and low cost. One of the most significant application of plastics is packaging in which 40% plastic supplies are used for packing. Thermoplastic are used of the over-all plastic usage of coarsely 80% and used for packaging that is application of plastics but non-plastic applications such as plastic coating and fiber.

Packaging has been conceivable because of the listed features of plastic goods:

• Harmless and clean – neutral and chemical resilience

• Less weight and non-brittleness

• Outstanding barricade qualities - augmenting shelf-life

• Greater impact resistance

• Sterilizable and resistance to microbial and other bacterial development

• Transparency as well as impenetrability

• Lower fuel consumption and product loss during shipping

Health, safety and environmental problems are created by the use of plastics. As the plastics and non-biodegradable, so this property cause waste management problem and choke the drain urban cities.

Active group consciousness movement is very significant, it is because solid waste management contain the solution that stays in separation of wet and dry solid waste at the origin. To increase the concept of resource management by occurring plastics can be reprocessed to produce objects. With the recycle of plastics, many useful products have been developed and in small, micro and informal sectors, huge amount of persons is hired in such type of actions. The undesirable and rejected plastic left-over does not stay in road side not it is carried to landfill that is providing through the recycling. By conventional process, many kinds of plastic left-over like multilayer laminates, EPS etc. are not effortlessly reprocess-able.

The over-all ecological influence of a product or activity on the earth is analyzed by Life Cycle Impact Analysis (LCIA) that is a significant and contemporary technical equipment. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) proved that plastics have much less adverse impacts on the environment pollution as compared to their alternative that is conducted by credible academic institutions and independent professional organizations of reputation.

Plastic is manufactured from fossil oil which is refined to portions comprising a combination of hydrocarbon chains and successively splintered into restating molecular entities, ‘monomers’. The monomers are combined into polymers forming the base material, e.g. granulate or powder, that can be made to diverse forms and goods by numerous mechanical methods, as for example, extruding and molding.
