Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11192-1 Near-complete deep-sea degradation of enzyme-embedded compostable polyesters shows that thermal enzyme embedding greatly accelerates breakdown across marine environments while preserving material performance, offering a promising strategy to mitigate persistent ocean plastic pollution.
