 ACKNOWLEDGE
Not all professionals do their work by themselves. Although they can be as prolific or as
adept in their respective fields, they will still need assistance one way or another. For
instance, writing a body of work takes a lot of research. They often depend on their assistants
or subordinates to gather information about the subject matter. Research Report is an arena
where one can acquire knowledge and wisdom. Acquiring the same however would be
incomplete without proper guidance. I would hence like to acknowledge the efforts of
individuals who have guided this research report towards fruition.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Ms. Manjusha Wadekar for her
valuable guidance, constant encouragement and practical suggestions. I would like to put
fourth my earnest thanks to Mrs. Bharti Upadhye (HOD BBA/BBA-IB/BBA-CA) DEPT) for
providing me with vital inputs to co-relate the present project work and hence provide a
sound base to the report structure.
 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Plastic is a material that has revolutionised our modern world. However, society is increasingly
understanding the environmental impact of this ubiquitous material, particularly when it is not
treated or managed carefully.

In response to the environmental harm caused by plastic pollution, the government is now
taking a fundamental look at its regulations and policies relating to plastic packaging as part of
a revised Waste and Resources Strategy.

The new environmental regulations, societal concerns and growing environmental awareness
has triggered the search for new products and processes that are compatible with the
environment. In the past few years, authorities & the public have been strongly attracted to the
concept and perceived environmental advantages of biodegradable and/or renewable resource
based plastics.
