Using Microbes to Create Sustainable Plastic and Aid in Biodegradation
In a major breakthrough for plastic production, researchers have developed a way to harness microbes to produce sustainable plastic. This new process uses natural and renewable materials such as sugar, starch, and cellulose as the feedstock for plastic production, meaning that the plastic is biodegradable and does not rely on petroleum or other nonrenewable sources. This process is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than traditional plastic production, and is a major step towards reducing plastic pollution.
