A study published in Nature Chemical Biology leverages the natural resilience of spores, which can endure extreme environmental conditions, by programming them to secrete plastic-degrading enzymes ...
The plastic lifecycle currently emits more than 0.85 gigatons of greenhouse gases. If current plastic production and consumption patterns continue, emissions could reach 1.34 gigatons per year by 2050 ...
