Summary

This review outlines enzyme engineering strategies — including directed evolution and computational protein design — for developing plastic-degrading enzymes capable of breaking down microplastics in contaminated soil. Enzyme-based bioremediation is highlighted as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach compared to physical excavation or chemical treatment, though real-world deployment remains in early stages.

Microplastics, which refer to small plastic particles with a diameter less than 5 millimeters, have gained global attention due to their accumulation in soil and waterways, potentially harming the health of wildlife and ecosystems. Enzyme engineering-based remediation techniques offer a promising, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly approach for cleaning microplastics from soil. This article provides an overview of enzyme engineering-based bioremediation strategies for addressing soil microplastic pollution, highlighting the factors that may impact their efficacy, in the pursuit of identifying the optimal approach for remedying this issue.
