Chapter 6: Published in Bioremediation: Removing Microplastics from the Soil Thakur, S.; Singh, L. (eds.)

Abstract

Microplastics, which refer to small plastic particles with a diameter less than 5 millimeters, have gained global attention due to their accumulation in soil and waterways, potentially harming the health of wildlife and ecosystems. Enzyme engineering-based remediation techniques offer a promising, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly approach for cleaning microplastics from soil. This article provides an overview of enzyme engineering-based bioremediation strategies for addressing soil microplastic pollution, highlighting the factors that may impact their efficacy, in the pursuit of identifying the optimal approach for remedying this issue.
