Abstract

Management of solid waste is one of the nightmares faced by environmental scientists and governments. The issue of solid waste is aggravated by products which are regarded as a symbol of throwaway society such as shopping bags. Disposal of shopping bags is paid much attention by different parties such as public, government and environmentalists, since shopping bags made out of plastic materials do not biodegrade and they take a very long period to decompose.
