1 Introduction The ever-present accumulation of plastic waste has become a significant environmental concern, necessitating the development of effective plastic degradation strategies.[1-3] Conventional approaches, such as physical, chemical, and thermal degradation, often suffer from limitations including high energy demands and the generation of secondary pollutants.[4, 5] Biodegradation, using biological catalysts such as enzymes or whole cells, has emerged as a promising alternative due...

AbstractNuclear energy provides a widely applied carbon-reduced energy source. Following operation, the spent nuclear fuel (SNF), containing a mixture of radiotoxic elements such as transuranics, needs to be safely disposed of. Safe storage of SNF in a deep geological repository (DGR) relies on multiple engineered and natural retention barriers to prevent environmental contamination.
