We all know plastics aren’t biodegradable and that’s bad, so why can’t we just use chemical science to break them down ourselves?

Hey OP, you might find this interesting… tress are made of a type of plastic… they polluted the entire planet and caused massive global cooling that destroyed massive amounts of life.
After a while a bacteria evolved that could actually eat the bioplastic called lignin and then the issue was resolved.
The same thing is true for our plastics, as soon as we develop a bacteria that can eat the plastic we should solve the problem then, so long as the bacteria produces waste that can balance off against carbon in the air
