Abstract
Addressing the mounting crisis of plastic pollution necessitates innovative degradation strategies. This presentation compiles and reviews existing research on various methods such as enzymatic degradation, smoke-free incineration, and eco-friendly materials. The focus lies on a critical analysis of how emerging technologies are accelerating these degradation methods. Economic considerations are also integrated to evaluate the financial feasibility of these strategies. The intent is to provide a synthesized perspective that illuminates promising directions for the future of plastic degradation.
