I feel like the end goal is making carbon dioxide, I mean unless you eat them. Which you might as well burn it at point. Especially if you are going through the effort of depolymerizing it with UV.

Needs to be in an anaerobic environment which means we can't just go around spraying stuff with this. :(

Yep, difficult to pipe UV down into a landfill. Plus, if you could make something that could eat a landfill, what's to stop it from infecting and destroying plastics society depends on. Like artificial joints or perhaps heart valves.

Why would we want our plastics eating our mushrooms? That seems like such a waste of mushrooms!

A hyphen would've avoided confusion but it's not a big deal so don't be a bitch about it OP.
