Plastic pollution has become a significant environmental issue worldwide, with global plastic production expected to reach 1800 million tons by 2050. One of the most commonly used plastics in world is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), synthetic polymer that extremely durable but difficult degrade. Thus, PET dangerous human health. To address this crisis, innovative approaches are being developed, including genome editing technologies. recently advanced technologies PlastiCRISPR, novel concept applies CRISPR-based transform waste management. PlastiCRISPR utilizes microorganisms degrade plastic, generating valuable bioproducts like biofuels and biochemicals. technology offers sustainable solution because its simple design, adequacy, low cost, which can be integrated into existing management systems. Importantly, review focuses on PlastiCRISPR-based it could drastically lower waste, sustain natural resources decreasing requirement for production, minimize energy intake, etc. Overall, provides an overview principles, applications, challenges, future prospects combating shaping more future.
