Overview

This review evaluates chemical and biochemical strategies for degrading microplastics and nanoplastics, suggesting hybrid approaches may be the most effective.

Key Points

  • This review investigates effective strategies for degrading microplastics and nanoplastics to mitigate environmental pollution.
  • Reviewed chemical degradation methods like photodegradation and pyrolysis.
  • Analyzed biochemical approaches, including enzymatic and microbial methods.
  • Assessed hybrid degradation systems that combine chemical and biochemical techniques.
  • Chemical methods can degrade plastics rapidly but may generate harmful byproducts.
  • Biochemical methods offer specific degradation with potential complete breakdown but face speed limitations.
  • Hybrid systems are highlighted as potentially the most effective approach for complete degradation.
