Plastic accumulation is now become one of the biggest threats to Planet Earth in this decade. As it is non-biodegradable and takes so many years in its natural degradation. So, its disposal becomes one of the biggest problems. Usually, for its disposal two ways are getting followed in practice. One is Incineration (Burning in furnace at higher temperature) and other dumping it for landfill. But both these ways are neither Bio-friendly or economical. Incineration of plastic pollutes the air adding Greenhouse and toxic gases while landfill makes that particular land area barren. So, in this context, only option is bio-remediation of plastic, in which plastic eating microorganisms and worms could help in getting rid of this menace. Some of the micro-organisms recognized to degrade plastic naturally are Pseudomonos, Escherichia and Bacillus genera. A newly discovered bacteria Ideonellaskaiensis has been identified to dispose plastic in 2016. Similarly, some worms have also been identified to eat plastic. This is probably one of the biggest and most essential area of research in this century. The present paper is a focus to use this biological system to make environment plastic free in an economical and bio-friendly way.
