Abstract

Existing conventional practices for e-waste management are harmful to deal with; as a result, using an enrichment culture method, indigenous soil bacteria were investigated for e-waste treatment. In the presence of e-waste, soil bacteria were enhanced and findings were established through OD600 values. In this study, bacterial entrapment techniques (bioformulation) to increase the shelf life of e-plastic degrading bacteria isolates are provided together with their isolation and characterization. The most effective bacteria, P4, were biochemically described and immobilized using a bio-formulation made of talc and charcoal, and maintained at 25°C and 4°C for two weeks. As a result, the talc-based formulation might be beneficial for storing and managing polymerdegrading bacteria on a wide scale to reduce solid waste disposal. More research is needed to determine the bacterium's action at e-waste contaminated site.
