Enzymes could unlock biological recycling of difficult plastic waste

Plastics have become an indispensable part of modern life due to their durability and low cost, with annual production exceeding 400 million metric tons globally. However, traditional recycling methods fall short, leaving a massive volume of waste to accumulate in landfills and natural environments. Researchers are now turning to biological solutions, specifically specialized enzymes, to break down stubborn plastic polymers that resist conventional mechanical and chemical recycling techniques. This promising approach could revolutionize waste management by enabling the complete degradation and circular reuse of hard-to-handle plastics.
