abstract = {The plastic crisis requires drastic measures, especially
for the plastics’ end-of-life. Mixed plastic fractions are
currently difficult to recycle, but microbial metabolism
might open new pathways. With new technologies for
degradation of plastics to oligo- and monomers, these carbon
sources can be used in biotechnology for the upcycling of
plastic waste to valuable products, such as bioplastics and
biosurfactants. We briefly summarize well-known monomer
degradation pathways and computed their theoretical yields
for industrially interesting products. With this information
in hand, we calculated replacement scenarios of existing
fossil-based synthesis routes for the same products.
Thereby, we highlight fossil-based products for which
plastic monomers might be attractive alternative carbon
sources. Notably, not the highest yield of product on
substrate of the biochemical route, but rather the
(in-)efficiency of the petrochemical routes (i.e., carbon,
energy use) determines the potential of biochemical plastic
upcycling. Our results might serve as a guide for future
metabolic engineering efforts towards a sustainable plastic
economy.},
