Amidases and urethanases advance plastic depolymerization research
Original: Advances in amidases and urethanases as depolymerization biocatalysts
A new review in Nature examines progress in using amidases and urethanases as biocatalysts to depolymerize synthetic polymers. The work surveys how these enzymes can break down plastic-like materials, an emerging approach in biological recycling that could complement chemical methods. Researchers see enzyme-driven depolymerization as a promising route to recovering monomers from plastic waste.
Why now: Growing scientific and public interest in enzyme-based solutions for plastic recycling and waste reduction
