Polyethylene (PE) is man-made polymers used in many aspects of human life. They are made of carbon and hydrogen, with nitrogen, sulphur, and other various organic and inorganic materials derived from fossil fuels (Kumari et al., 2013 & Angga Puja et al., 2021). It is widely used due to its light weight, inexpensive, strong and durable nature. Most of the plastic waste is non-biodegradable which takes thousands of years to be decomposed (UNEP 2015) The worldwide production rate of synthetic polymers is about 140 million tons and its utility is increasing at the rate of 12% per annum (Sekhar et al.,2016 & Lalina Maroof et al., 2021). Although plastic products are reusable, they are still one of the main factors causing environmental pollution (Drzyzga et al., 2018) Plastics has become an omnipresent part of environment and it seems that their biodegradation is extremely slow, often burns in the open area leads to air pollution (Jyothika et al.,2020)
