This is a bit Pollyanna. There may be a natural organism (maybe this fungus) that will break down plastics. Plastics are NOT molecularly the same as oil. Over 1 million metric tons of plastics are produced daily. Every complex species on the planet has micro-plastics trapped in its liver, including those in the deepest ocean.
I think plastics pollution is a great threat to the ecology of the planet. This is easily solvable. There are other materials that will do the job of plastics in nearly every instance. They're just more expensive.
We should still use plastic, but only when there is a recycle/recovery plan for the article.
Atomic bombs are made from Cobalt. Cobalt can be found in the ground all over the planet and even in dinnerware. Atomic bombs must be as safe as mothers-milk.....
You took what I said, twisted it, added parts I never said and then produced a strawman to argue with on an entirely different topic.
