Biochemist on the hunt for the “plastic Eater”

Date:

According to the EN environment estimates, more than 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced every year, according to the estimates of the UN environment programs, ten million of them end up in the oceans. Plastic bags, fishing nets, buttocks of cigarettes and other contaminants made by humans drive around in gigantic garbage that get bigger and bigger because plastic is not rotten.

The fatal consequences of the plastic carpet are well documented – animals such as marine turtles on plastic consumption, fishing nets tied in orphan. For marine ecosystems, the human preference for plastic is fatal and a reduction in the plastic waste mountains is indispensable – for example due to savings, forbidden (such as straws) or bioplastics that rot over time. Moreover, researchers are also looking for new weapons against the plastic that is actually not biological that there is already. Artificial intelligence and genetic manipulation can be a solution.
