Abstract: (117 Views) |
The rapid expansion of plastic consumption and the ease of use these cheap, long-lasting chemical compounds, especially in the form of micro and nano particles, has caused pollution of water, soil, and even air resources. Unfortunately, management recommendations to reduce consumption and replacement it by bioplastic have not been very effective, and it seems that the sustainable solution is through biological approaches such as enhance elimination, reduce absorption, or even biologically degrade these particles and finally, some genetic engineering manipulations changing the function of microorganisms such as the production of degrading enzymes or CRISPR engineering, etc., are the only solutions facing humanity. This article reviews these approaches in detail.
