Abstract

This chapter delves into the pressing issue of plastic waste management in India, highlighting the environmental and health impacts of plastic pollution. It explores the limitations of conventional waste management methods such as incineration, landfilling, and recycling, which often lead to secondary pollution or high costs. The chapter introduces the concept of bioremediation using mealworms as a promising solution. It discusses the mechanisms by which mealworms can degrade various types of plastics, including polyethylene, and the role of gut microbiota in this process. The text also provides a cost analysis of mealworm bioremediation in the Indian context, emphasizing its potential as a low-budget, eco-friendly method. Additionally, it touches on the challenges and future prospects of this innovative approach, including the need for further research and public awareness. The chapter concludes by advocating for the adoption of bioremediation techniques to address the growing plastic waste crisis in India and beyond.
