Loading...Synthesize plastic eating enzymes in the lab
Some bacteria and fungi can break down plastics, but the process is too slow to be effective. But what if you could synthesize the plastic-eating enzymes of these bacteria and fungi, thus creating a more effective solution against plastic waste?
There is an AI-engineered enzyme that can completely degrade plastics.
Check these out! Some researchers accidentally created a mutated version of the plastic-eating enzyme.

Some scientists who are trying to do that, but it may be while before a viable solution is found.
