Advances in enzymatic and organismal technologies for the recycling and upcycling of petroleum-derived plastic waste.

Abstract excerpt

Biological catalysts are emerging with the capability to depolymerize a wide variety of plastics. Improving and discovering these catalysts has leveraged a range of tools, including microbial ecology studies, high-throughput selections, and computationally guided mutational studies. In this review, we discuss the prospects for biological solutions to plastic recycling and upcycling with a focus on major advances...
