Enzymes? Power for Plastics Degradation

Vincent Tournier et al.

Summary: Plastics are widely used in modern life and their increasing production poses significant environmental concerns. The current end-of-life management mainly includes landfilling, incineration, and limited recycling. To achieve a circular economy, bio-based solutions for plastic waste treatment and recycling are being explored. This review focuses on the recent advances in enzyme-based biocatalysis and its applications in recycling or upcycling commodity plastics such as polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, and polyolefins. The scope, limitations, challenges, and opportunities in this field are also discussed. The findings highlight the potential of polymer-assimilating enzymes in achieving a circular plastic economy.

A growing plastic smog, now estimated to be over 170 trillion plastic particles afloat in the world's oceans-Urgent solutions required

Marcus Eriksen et al.

Summary: With the increasing global awareness, scientific research and policy interventions on plastics, institutions worldwide are seeking preventative strategies. However, the lack of precise global time series data on plastic pollution hinders the assessment of policy effectiveness. To address this gap, the study utilizes previously published and new data to estimate the average counts and mass of small plastics in the ocean surface layer from 1979 to 2019. The results reveal a rapid increase in plastic densities in the world's oceans, demanding urgent international policy interventions.

Biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by diverse marine bacteria in deep-sea sediments

Sufang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study identified PET-degrading bacteria in deep-sea sediment samples collected from the eastern central Pacific Ocean. Various bacteria were found to have the ability to degrade PET. The results showed that after a 30-day incubation period, 1.3%-1.8% of PET was lost. These bacterial consortia with PET-degrading potential are prevalent and diverse, and they may play a key role in removing PET pollutants in deep oceans.

Accelerated biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate by Thermobifida fusca cutinase mediated by Stenotrophomonas pavanii

Qing-Song Huang et al.

Summary: The study identified four bacteria capable of utilizing PET as a sole carbon source, with S. pavanii JWG-G1 showing promise in accelerating PET biodegradation. The pretreatment with S. pavanii JWG-G1 resulted in significantly rougher and more hydrophilic PET surface, improving the contact and action of Thermobifida fusca cutinase (TfC) for enhanced degradation.

Microbial degradation of polyethylene terephthalate: a systematic review

Cesar David Benavides Fernandez et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution has been rapidly increasing in recent years due to the high accumulation rates of plastic waste. Conventional chemical and physical degradation techniques have adverse effects on the environment. Therefore, the use of microorganisms for plastic degradation has gained importance. This systematic review evaluates the reported findings on PET degradation by wild and genetically modified microorganisms, with the aim of implementing an effective and environmentally friendly method for managing PET waste. The review identifies wild and genetically modified microorganisms capable of degrading PET, along with the enzymes and genes used for genetic modification. The need for implementing biological techniques for PET waste management on a commercial scale using consortia of microorganisms is emphasized.
