Synthetic plastics are pivotal in our current lifestyle and therefore, its accumulation is a major
concern for environment and human health. Petroleum-derived (petro-) polymers such as …

Although considerable research achievements have been made to address the plastic crisis
using enzymes, their applications are limited due to incomplete degradation and low …

Lipases are very versatile enzymes, and produced the attention of the several industrial
processes. Lipase can be achieved from several sources, animal, vegetable, and …

Plastic polymers are non-degradable solid wastes that have become a great threat to the
whole world and degradation of these plastics would take a few decades. Compared with …

This work reviews microplastic's impact on agroecosystem components and possible effects
on the food chain. Microplastics are sized< 5 µm, made up of diverse chemical constituents …

Plastic pollution is a growing environmental problem, in part due to the extremely stable and
durable nature of this polymer. As recycling does not provide a complete solution, research …

Enzymatic hydrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been the subject of extensive
previous research that can be grouped into two categories, viz. enzymatic surface …

Most petroleum-derived plastics, as exemplified by poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET), are
chemically inactive and highly resistant to microbial attack. The accumulation of plastic …

Although wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as important collection
points and environmental sources for now omnipresent waste in waterways, the contribution …
