everything is biodegradable, it just depends on how long it takes

you can search the internet for "recycling plastic materials" in your area, there are many manufacturers who colect (they pay for this kind of waste) PE, PP, PS, ABS or PET and made granules from it, selling them after for more, as raw material.

Biodegradation\nBiodegradation is nature's way of recycling wastes, or breaking down organic matter into nutrients that can be used by other organisms. "Degradation" means decay, and the "bio-" prefix means that the decay is carried out by a huge assortment of bacteria, fungi, insects, worms, and other organisms that eat dead material and recycle it into new forms. \n\nIn nature, there is no waste because everything gets recycled. The waste products from one organism become the food for others, providing nutrients and energy while breaking down the waste organic matter. Some organic materials will break down much faster than others, but all will eventually decay.\nBy harnessing these natural forces of biodegradation, people can reduce wastes and clean up some types of environmental contaminants. Through composting, we accelerate natural biodegradation and convert organic wastes to a valuable resource. Wastewater treatment also accelerates natural forces of biodegradation. In this case the purpose is to break down organic matter so that it will not cause pollution problems when the water is released into the environment. Through bioremediation, microorganisms are used to clean up oil spills and other types of organic pollution. Composting and bioremediation provide many possibililites for student research. \n\n\n\nhttp://ei.cornell.edu/biodeg/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradation\nhttp://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=biodegradation

To answer that question, another must be posed.....\n\nHow thin can you make copper wire?\n\nThe answer is yes, you can insulate copper wire with hemp plastic, as thin as a biodegradable plastic grocery bag\n\nHemp plastic is a cellulose based plastic.\nOnce you introduce it to the soil it will deteriorate, and once again become part of the earth. Hence Biodegradable

Actually all plastic is biodegradable, but it is VERY slow to biodegrade.  It degrades better chemically and through other physical processes such as being in sunlight...Plastic will biodegrade after it has gone through other processes over a long time in places like a landfill, and once enough of the chemical and/or physical bonds are broken down that way there are bacteria that love to devour petroleum based products, it just takes a while.

food = glucose,fertilizers to boost production of food grains,preservatives for food\nclothings=Nylon,Polyster,Rayon etc\nshelter= cement,plaster of paris,metals like iron,aluminium obtained after mettalurgical processes\ntransport=oil through cracking of crude\nhealth =antibiotics,vitamins\nadvancement of knowledge =space explorations enabled by rocket fuels(propellants)\nYou can think many more just look around yourselves

This is a question that should be on everyone's mind. Trash especially stuff that is not bio-degradable, is a threat to the very existence of this planet. I would like to think that environmentally friendly ways of completely destroying trash will have been found.

Title : Biodegradable Plastics\n\nSummary : Plastics have become an important part of modern life and are used in different sectors of applications like packaging, building materials, consumer products and much more. Each year about 100 million tons of plastics are produced worldwide.\n\nDemand for plastics in India reached about 4.3 million tons in the year 2001-02 and would increase to about 8 million tons in the year 2006-07. Currently, however, the per capita consumption of plastics in India is only about 3 kg compared to 30-40 kg in the developed countries. The present market in India is of about Rs. 25,000 crore.\n\nHazards of Plastics: Most of today's plastics and synthetic polymers are produced from petrochemicals. As conventional plastics are persistent in the environment, improperly disposed plastic materials are a significant source of environmental pollution, potentially harming life. The plastic sheets or bags do not allow water and air to go into earth which causes reduction in fertility status of soil, preventing degradation of other normal substances, depletion of underground water source and danger to animal life. In the seas too, plastic rubbish - from ropes and nets to the plastic bands from beer packs -choke and entangle the marine mammals.\n\nBio plastics are biodegradable plastics, whose components are derived from renewable raw materials. These plastics can be made from abundant agricultural/animal resources like cellulose, starch, collagen, casein, soy protein polyesters are triglycerides. Large-scale use of these would help in preserving non-renewable resources like petroleum, natural gas and coal and contribute to the problems of waste management. Biodegradable plastics degrade over a period of time if exposed to sun and air.\n\nThough the demand for biodegradable plastics is increasing, acceptance of biodegradable polymers is likely to depend on factors like\n\n Customer response to costs; \n Possible legislation by governments; and \n The achievement of total biodegradability. \n\nImmediate application areas identified in India for biodegradable plastics are Agricultural Mulch, Surgical Implants, Industrial Packaging, Wrapping, Milk Sachets, Foodservice, Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Recreational, etc.\n\nTIFAC report on biodegradable plastics highlights the Indian efforts in this direction, as well as activities at some of the major centres of development in USA/Canada, Germany, Scandinavian countries and Japan. This report also gives brief details of biodegradable plastic technology developed by University of Nebraska, Chronopol, Inc., EPI Environmental Products, Inc., Isolyser Company, Inc., Solpax Limited, Novamont, Federal Cartidge Company and a few other companies. In addition, the reader would find lists of worldwide manufacturers of polymers and additives, international organizations and standards for testing biodegradability.

If the foodstuff produced is a protein, the product is called single cell protein (SCP). Many microorganisms are suitable for this process, including algae, blue-greens, fungi and bacteria.\n\nMarlow Foods produce a product called Myco- protein by using a filamentous fungus, Fusariumgraminearum, grown in continuous fermenters. The substrate is a glucose solution, together with oxygen, a nitrogen source and minerals. As the fungus is filamentous, the product contains fibres which can be aligned to make a meat substitute. It is available as Quorn in ready meals in major supermarkets throughout the country.\n\nSpirulina is a blue-green bacterium which has been grown for many years as SCP. Because it is photosynthetic, it grows in ponds, needing only carbon dioxide and inorganic ions. Dried Spirulina has a high nutrient value and can be fed to animals. It is also gaining popularity as a health food
