TL;DR: In this article, a review of the efforts made towards turning polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into a viable feedstock for microbial transformations is presented, highlighting current bottlenecks in the degradation of the polymer and the metabolism of the monomers and showcase fully biological or semisynthetic processes leading to the synthesis of PET from sustainable substrates.
