Question

Is there a way to dissolve plastic apart from acid

Answer 1

Yes,Organic compounds  

Answer 2

I'm in fact not quite sure if acids would be able to dissolve plastics. But plastics are considered polymers and some polymers can be dissolved in  solvents like chloroform, dichloromethane (DCM), methanol etcetera. These solvents are mainly organic solvents.

IT ALL DEPENDS UPON WHAT KIND OF PLASTIC YOU ARE REFERING AND WHAT IS THAT YOU WANT TO DO.

THERE ARE MANY ORGANIC SOLVENTS WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED. ( AS MENTIONED BY PREVIOUSLY.)

HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME SOLVENTS USDED FOR SPECIFIC PLASTIC FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES.

Good Luck
