Industrial, agricultural and livestock processes generate a large amount of plastic waste that is at risk of degrading due to various factors and reaching the soil as particulate material, in the form of micro or nano plastic, mixing and contaminating the organomineral fraction of the soil. This process can cause alterations in the reactions that occur in the soil, just like plastics, which suffer alterations due to biological activity. In this work, the possibility of degrading plastic particulate material (LDPE, LLPE, PET and PS) mixed with vermicompost in the presence of Eisenia fetida earthworms and inoculated with a consortium of plastic polymer decomposing microorganisms is studied. For this, the experiment is carried out by exposing Eisenia fetida (EF) mesocosms to different types of plastic (NoAWP, LDPE, MIXb) and with different types of microbial consortia (NoPMC, ENDO, EXO, MIXc) for 360 hours. To determine the oxidative stress and tissue damage that earthworms can suffer, different enzymatic activities (biomarkers) are measured. A follow-up of the evolution of the fresh weight and the survival of the EF earthworm in the different treatments is carried out. To evaluate the physicochemical variations of the vermicompost after adding the particulate plastic material, the physicochemical parameters and the presence of heavy metals in the vermicompost, among other characteristics, are measured. To determine the biological activity are measured different enzymatic activities of the vermicompost. Eisenia fetida had higher survival rates and weight gain per individual in composts inoculated with mix of agricultural plastic waste (AWP) and inoculated with a mixed microbial consortium obtained from inside the digestive tract of the earthworm E. fetida (ENDO) and from environments contaminated with plastics (EXO). The activity of the worms in synergy with the mixed microbial consortium produced an increase in enzymatic activities that indicate a higher rate of microbial activity and the ability to act as a physiological barrier against free radicals. All the vermicompost used in the different treatments of the experiment maintained their class A classification according with heavy metals content
