Plastics are playing indispensable parts in the modern civilization. Given its beneficial characteristics, it would be hard to envisage a world without plastics. However, a more sustainable method to manage plastics after usage is critically needed in the present scenario. So far wide variety of plastics have been produced over 8 billion tons, out of which about 40% have been superfluous. The plastic waste ends up as a litter, in the environment will become small fragments as microplastics (MiP)/ Nanoplastics (NiP) and only degrade slowly in natural environments and persist over years. In past decades, scientific community has investigated the efficient remediation technologies towards MiP waste. However, contemplating the MiP waste reforming to value added material, still has profound knowledge gaps. The chemical upcycling suggests a promising approach to deal with the challenges triggered by plastic wastes. Hydrogen could become an excellent energy carrier to appease the energy demand of humankind as a sustainable future alternative energy economy. The conversion of MiP into value added hydrogen fuel by photo-reforming is a newly emerging field with enormous economic potential. To better combatting the global challenges of MiP contamination, heterogenous nanomaterials play vital role due its surface functionality.
