Human activity is now producing as much as50 million tons of plastic waste a year.This has caused many environmental issues,as this durable material is extremely hard for nature to decompose and break down-in a landfill plastic bags can last up to 500 years.As a result large amounts of garbage can easily accumulate over time.A solution to this problem is to substitute high-density polyethylene(HDPE)plastic packaging materials with biodegradable plastic materials.This will not only ease the pressure imposed on the natural environment,but
