The phenomenon of marine plastic pollution is now well-established, with documented impacts on marine biodiversity and biogeochemical cycles. In order to mitigate this environmental impact, a significant amount of research has been conducted in recent years with the objective of developing biodegradable alternatives to conventional polymers and their composites in marine environments. The findings of this research significantly enhanced our understanding of biodegradation mechanisms and identified promising candidates. However, the majority of these studies have been conducted in coastal marine environments, which represent a minor component of the marine ecosystem. Recent models on the transport of plastic debris in the oceans indicate that deep-sea environments are likely to be the ultimate sink for a significant proportion of plastics entering the oceans. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the processes of biodegradation of polymers in these deep-sea environments. The diversity and specific characteristics of these environments with respect to degradation mechanisms are discussed. While the majority of deep-sea conditions are not conducive to biodegradation, studies on organic falls (wood and whale carcasses) and a few investigations into materials previously shown to be biodegradable in coastal marine environments demonstrate mechanisms that are similar to those observed in shallow waters. Nevertheless, further research is necessary to reach definitive conclusions. It is essential to extend these studies to a broader range of deep-sea environments. Additionally, new methodologies that integrate microbiology and polymer science are required to accurately assess the process of assimilation of these materials in these environments.
