I think the reference to bacteria was suggesting bacteria that produce the enzyme, though that isn't clear from the post. Of course there's a lot involved in creating a viable bacterium that can survive in the wild on plastics than just making one produce this enzyme though.
That’s proper stuff from nightmares. Imagine a bacterium so viable, it gets out of control and reproduces massively, because there is so much tasty plastics everywhere. Say goodbye to the modern world.
The powerline isolation, it has been eaten, the good thing, anyone can cook such a thing up. so its a minority veto voting on progress world we are now in today.

We can just ship these enzymes in bacteria into garbage dumps and that plastic island in the ocean. Could be a one time cost
Enzymes do not reproduce

Bacteria eat wood already and we still use it, what's the problem?
That we didn’t engineer those bacteria to be massively effective in a short amount of time.
