Just for the record enzyme does not mean organism. Enzymes are non-self replicating so the "grey goo" scenario isn't a problem until we introduce them into organisms but then the energy they derive from the plastic must be greater than the rest of the machinery used to turn it into energy/nutrients. And I would be skeptical of that any time soon.
