for packaging also are the major cause of the environmental problems related to packaging. Given the wide use of plastics‚ the magnitude of the environmental problem is large and long terms.

I. INTRODUCTION Earthworms are segmented invertebrates that inhabit soils and organic wastes. They are hermaphrodites and usually reproduce by mating‚ each partner fertilizing the other.

Each cocoon contains one or more eggs that can survive adverse conditions‚ hatching when environmental conditions are favorable. Some species are able to produce viable cocoons parthenogenetically without
