Many countries have banned plastic bags due to public concern over the serious negative impact on the environment and agriculture, especially, in agricultural countries, such as Yemen, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, etc. In this research paper, we surveyed the field for the city of Sana'a and recorded of the where about of those plastic bags accumulated.
The number of factories producing plastic bags and discuss the causes and effects and reviewed a range of solutions for a clean environment for us and our future generations. The isolated microbial strains were identified based on their cultural morphological and biochemical study.
