Plastic pollution endangers all natural ecosystems and living creatures on earth. Excessive reliance on plastic products and excessive production of plastic packaging are extremely dangerous for humans because plastic waste has polluted almost the entire world, whether it is in the sea or on the land. This review introduces the examination of pollution brought by non-degradable plastics, the classification and application of degradable materials, and the current situation and strategy to address plastic pollution and plastic degradation by insects, which mainly include , , , and other insects. The efficiency of plastic degradation by insects, biodegradation mechanism of plastic waste, and the structure and composition of degradable products are reviewed. The development direction of degradable plastics in the future and plastic degradation by insects are prospected. This review provides effective ways to solve plastic pollution.
塑料污染危及地球上所有的自然生态系统和生物。对塑料制品的过度依赖以及塑料包装的过量生产对人类极其危险，因为塑料垃圾几乎污染了整个世界，无论是在海洋还是陆地。本文综述了不可降解塑料带来的污染检测、可降解材料的分类与应用，以及昆虫处理塑料污染和塑料降解的现状与策略，其中主要包括 、 、 、 等昆虫。综述了昆虫降解塑料的效率、塑料垃圾的生物降解机制以及可降解产物的结构与组成。展望了未来可降解塑料的发展方向以及昆虫对塑料的降解作用。本文综述为解决塑料污染提供了有效途径。
