Abstract

Abstract This article presents an overview of the evolution, impact, and challenges of plastics, focusing on the difficulties in recycling processes and introducing biocatalytic technologies as a promising solution for efficient plastic degradation. While there are many obstacles in accessability of plastics for enzymatic degradation, recent achievements in industrial application and discoveries of new enzyme classes for polymer degradation highly encourage further investment in this technology paving the way towards broad industrial application of biocatalysis in plastic recycling.
