Summary

This review covers thermochemical and chemo-biological approaches to recycling plastic waste and plastic-biomass waste mixtures into valuable building block molecules. The study highlights that while thermochemical and bioprocessing methods show promise, the chemo-enzymatic treatment of mixed plastic-biomass waste streams remains an open challenge due to their diverse composition.

Thermochemical and bioprocessing are feasible for recovering valuable building block molecules from plastic residues. Chemo-enzymatic treatment of waste plastic-biomass mixtures is an open challenge due to the diverse composition of the residues.
