“…Green chemistry can redesign the plastics value chain in plastics production to recycling and end-of-life via widening rules and incentives intervention. Nikolaivits et al [356] summarized mechano-biocatalytic perspectives for the valorization of plastic wastes. The depolymerization of plastics can produce new products, instead of waste disposal, with high product value, having effectively combined interdisciplinary approaches for the end-of-life in circular economy.…”

“…As with chemical degradation, the major difficulty in the enzyme degradation of polymers such as PE and PP derives from their high hydrophobicity, stability, and inertness, and their reactivity may be implemented by UV or thermal oxidation pretreatments [150]. While PE and PP enzymatic degradation is still a very challenging topic, numerous hydrolytic enzymes have been identified and are efficient for PET degradation [151]. PET hydrolases represent one of the most recent breakthroughs in the depolymerization of post-consumer PET, allowing the recovery of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol at industrial relevant scale [120].…”

“…are additional fungal species with a high degree of plastic degradability (Sowmya et al, 2015). Contrary to popular belief, different fungal consortia have been proven to destroy various polymers, such as PET and PLA, through synergistic action (Ghosh et al, 2019;Nikolaivits et al, 2021). Before eventual depolymerization, as well as their potential to release hydrophobin for improved hyphal adhesion to hydrophobic substrates, fungal hyphae are critical in both the initial colonization and the subsequent depolymerization of the fungus (Wang et al, 2018;Quarantin et al, 2019).…”
