Plastic waste poses a serious economic, ecological and environmental threat. Here, non-recyclable, post-consumer microplastics are used as an electron feedstock for biosynthetic reactions in a photoelectrocatalytic system. The microplastics are simultaneously broken down into organic fuels, meaning that this system provides valuable chemicals at both the anodic and cathodic sites.
