Do plastics decompose?

The disposal of the plastic garbage is a major problem of all over the world .It is because plastic does not gt decomposed by natural processes ,such as action of bacteria so they are called non biodegradable The plastic bags and other plastic items in the garbage are non biodegradable .When garbage is converted into natural manure ,plastic items do not degrade. When this manure is spread in fields ,the plastic does not allow the water to seep into the soil .This has an adverse effect on the plants as well as in recharging of ground water.
