MICROBIAL DEGRADATION OF PLASTIC: A REVIEW (2015, unknown): “Accumulation rate of plastic waste in the environment is 25 million tons/year (Orhan and Buyukgungor 2000; Nayak and Tiwari 2011; Baruah 2011; Kaseem et al. 2012) and is consequently considered a serious environmental danger (Sivan et al. 2006; Thompson 2004).”
