미생물 또는 효소를 이용한 플라스틱 분해의 최근 연구 동향

초록

Plastic is one of the fastest-growing consumer goods in modern society, and its usage continues to increase globally. Plastics with high hydrophobicity, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, or those with simple carbon-carbon (C-C) structures like polystyrene, are particularly difficult to degrade. Additionally, the biodegradation mechanisms of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride are not well understood. The widespread use of plastics poses significant environmental and waste management challenges. As an alternative, recent research has focused on the enzymatic degradation of plastics through microorganisms. This study suggests the potential for sustainability in the plastic industry and environmental protection.
