“…Polyamide microplastics have also appeared in the sediments and gastrointestinal tracts of Halibut roundworms and widely consumed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [33,34]. These microplastics not only harm marine animals but also change the food chain relationships in ecosystems, causing serious harm to ecosystems [35][36][37]. In addition, microplastic waste also poses a great threat to human health, including reproductive harm and obesity, as well as organ problems and delayed child development [38].…”

“…Various studies have shown that it is urgent to solve the environmental pollution caused by polyamide microplastics [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. The main purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of polyamide recycling and degradation, including the reaction mechanisms and conditions in the energy recovery and recycling process and environmental degradation.…”

As one of the five major engineering plastics, polyamide brings many benefits to humans in the fields of transportation, clothing, entertainment, health, and more. However, as the production of polyamide increases year by year, the pollution problems it causes are becoming increasingly severe. This article reviews the current recycling and treatment processes of polyamide, such as chemical, mechanical, and energy recovery, and degradation methods such as thermal oxidation, photooxidation, enzyme degradation, etc. Starting from the synthesis mechanism of polyamide, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different treatment methods of polyamide to obtain more environmentally friendly and economical treatment schemes. Finding enzymes that can degrade high-molecular-weight polyamides, exploring the recovery of polyamides under mild conditions, synthesizing environmentally degradable polyamides through copolymerization or molecular design, and finally preparing degradable bio-based polyamides may be the destination of polyamide.
