Antibiotics are micropollutants accumulating in our rivers and wastewaters, potentially leading to bacterial antibiotic resistance, a worldwide problem to which there is no current solution. Here, we have developed an environmentally friendly two‐step process to transform the antibiotic rifampicin (RIF) into non‐antimicrobial compounds. The process involves an enzymatic oxidation step by the bacterial CotA‐laccase and a hydrogen peroxide bleaching step. NMR identified rifampicin quinone as the main product of the enzymatic oxidation. Growth of
