Summary

Researchers reviewed enzyme-assisted biodegradation as an emerging strategy for breaking down micro- and nanoplastics, finding that certain enzymes show promise for accelerating plastic breakdown, though practical large-scale application still requires significant development.

Plastics are non-degradable synthetic polymers used worldwide for their felicitous properties. The accumulation of plastic debris in the environment is becoming increasingly prominent, and the conventional disposal methods are off the mark. The abiotic environmental...
