Microplastics (MPs) composed of different polymers with various shapes, within a vast granulometric distribution (1 μm - 5 mm) and wide variety physicochemical surface bulk characteristics spiral around the globe, atmospheric, oceanic, cryospheric, terrestrial residence times, while interacting other pollutants biota. The challenges microplastic pollution are related to complex relationships between generation mechanisms (physical, chemical, biological), their properties, interactions microorganisms, changes in properties aging, small sizes that facilitate diffusion transportation air, water, land, biota, thereby promoting ubiquity. Early career researchers (ERCs) constitute an essential part scientific community committed overcoming new ideas innovative perspectives for development remediation technologies. However, because enormous amount information available, it may be difficult ERCs determine complexity this environmental issue. This mini-review aims provide quick updated overview insights help them acquire background needed develop highly physical, biological technologies, as well valorization proposals education awareness campaigns. Moreover, recommendations holistic strategies presented here can propose technologies considering environmental, social, practical dimensions fulfilling current government policies manage plastic waste.

Natural and engineered enzymes for polyester degradation: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 22(3), С. 1275 - 1296

Опубликована: Март 7, 2024

Abstract Plastic pollution is becoming a major health issue due to the recent discovery of microplastics and nanoplastics in living organisms environment, calling for advanced technologies remove plastic waste. Here we review enzymes that degrade plastics with focus on properties, protein engineering polymers such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), poly(lactic acid), polyamide polyurethane. The mechanism action natural engineered has been probed by experimental computation approaches. performance polyester-degrading improved via directed evolution, structure-guided rational design machine learning-aided strategies. display higher stability at elevated temperatures, tailored substrate-binding sites.

Global perspectives on the biodegradation of LDPE in agricultural systems

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15

Опубликована: Янв. 7, 2025

The increasing use of plastics globally has generated serious environmental and human health problems, particularly in the agricultural sector where low-density polyethylene (LDPE) other are widely used. Due to its low recycling rate slow degradation process, LDPE is a major source pollution. This paper addresses problem plastic accumulation agriculture, focusing on biodegradation strategies. studies reviewed include recent data methodologies used state-of-the-art technologies others that have been for decades, monitor measure degree each treatment applied can have, including SEM, GCMS, HPLC, microscopy. countries investigating these identified, while some developing them years, only begun address this years. microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, insect larvae influence decomposition highlighted. A workflow proposed carry out type research. Despite advances, challenges remain, optimizing conditions accelerate process need further research delves into microbial interactions various contexts.
