Summary

This chapter examines enzyme-catalyzed biodegradation of micro- and nanoplastics, detailing the mechanisms by which various enzymes break down synthetic polymers and comparing the advantages of enzymatic approaches over conventional plastic disposal methods.

This chapter details the various enzymes used for the biodegradation of micro- and nanoplastics. In this chapter, the advantages of enzymatic approaches over conventional methods are presented. The mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed degradation of plastics is discussed, and examples of biodegradation of synthetic polymers using various enzymes are detailed.
