Plants which degrade plastic?

This year’s iGEM project of the Berlin team is all about plastic - to be specific: microplastic and the clearance of our water with the aid of Synthetic Biology.
The idea is to build a modular filter system for wastewater treatment plants which is able to degrade plastic. Bakterial flagella, moleculare hair-like structures, are equipped with a combination of enzymes that are able to breakdown plastic molecules.
