| description | Plastic waste has recently been identified as one of the most serious environmental issues,
affecting all life forms, natural habitats, and the economy, and is one of the most serious
global environmental problems, second only to climate change. Seeking alternative
environmentally sustainable options, such as biodegradation instead of conventional disposal,
is critical in the face of this challenge. However, there is currently a lack of information about
the mechanisms and efficacy of plastic biodegradation. From this perspective, this study aims
to illustrate the negative environmental impacts of the plastic waste. It also addresses the role
of insects and gut microbiota in the degradation of plastics, emphasizing the important role
they will play in the future |
