Some version of this concept has floated (pun intended) around for a while. Thing is that plastics are an energy dense "food source" and once something evolves a way to metabolize it they'll have a huge advantage.
It's like how glyphosate tolerance has appeared in weed plants already. Evolution is always looking for an angle.
