From past few years there is serious waste disposal disposal problem of non-biodegradable polymer (NBP) in India. In India 43% pollution is due to use of Non-Biodegradable polymer. It is estimated that 41% NBP is used in packaging and that almost half of that volume is used to pack food products. Most commonly used are poly olefins like polyethene, polypropene and polyvinyl chloride. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview on the statistics of various NBP and their harmful effects on various components of environment.
