The basic conception of bio-upcycling plastic wastes. A mixture of a variety of plastic wastes will be firstly mechanically grinded and biologically depolymerized by plastic-degrading microorganisms and enzymes. Then, the depolymerization products will be separated from the culture and utilized as feedstocks for microbial fermentation to produce chemicals with high value, such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), succinic acid, and biosurfactant.
