Digestion requires enzymes and mucin for hydrolysis of ingested
foods into smaller components, e.g. amino acids, glucose, etc.
before it can be absorbed and utilized. There are no intestinal tract
enzymes to hydrolyze or break down plastic, therefore no digestion of
this material can occur. Plastic will be excreted, in the feces, without
any change.
:) hope ti iz clear!

For digestion it is necessary to take part in the chemical reactions going inside body starting with liver liquid. Plastic does not take part in reaction therefore is not digested.

In order to digest plastics, you would need an enzyme that is able to break down the carbon-carbon bonds found in plastic. There is no such enzyme that exists, which most probably explains why plastic is non-biodegradable!
