Abstract
The pervasive use of artificial polymers, particularly plastics, poses significant environmental challenges due to their durability and resistance to degradation. Traditional disposal methods are inadequate, leading to persistent pollution and ecological disruption. Fundamental processes such as enzymatic and microbial degradation are highlighted, showcasing enzymes like PETase and laccase and microorganisms such as Ideonella sakaiensis and Pseudomonas sp. The integration of biomass with advanced technologies, including bioreactors and genetic engineering. The environmental benefits of this approach include reduced pollution and a sustainable method for addressing plastic waste. In contrast, economic and social benefits encompass the creation of green jobs and the promotion of the bio-economy. Despite technical challenges, ongoing research and supportive policies are crucial for advancing biomass-based strategies. This chapter underscores the potential of biomass in developing sustainable solutions to mitigate plastic pollution and promote environmental harmony.
