Abstract
AbstractPlastic is an important commodity that is used in several sectors. However, plastic waste generation is a pressing issue and needs attention as it risks the environment. While methods such as landfilling, incineration and recycling are known for handling plastic waste, they have their own limitations like generation of secondary pollutants and the low quality of the recycled plastic. In this scenario, new methods and technologies for efficiently handling plastic waste are the need of the hour as it is aggravating the concern of pollution and its health risks. This highlight article predominantly focuses on the recently reported combinatorial approach (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2022, 61, e202212013), where it has been shown that integrating the magnetic property of bare Fe3O4 nanoparticles and nanozyme technology can be used for microplastic removal and degradation with nearly 100 % efficiency.
