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?

There are some plastics that are biodegradable.
Most of them are only really compostable under certain circumstances though.

We can do a lot of stuff with other plastics too, but it is always about cost and revenue. A high percentage of clean plastic material can be recycled, but it has to be quite clean indeed. And washing/sorting ist costly again, unfortunately.
