Abstract

Enzyme-based plastic degradation and valorization of the plastic-derived monomers has emerged as a potent option to address the plastic waste dilemma. Obstacles in implementing the enzymatic degradation of plastics in industry are here summarized, and strategies to overcome these obstacles are discussed to exploit the full potential of enzymatic plastic degradation toward a sustainable plastic economy.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests There are no interests to declare.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
