If the process can be scaled, it could not only reduce the number of petrochemical-derived plastics but also bioplastics that are made from valuable resources such as sugar cane, corn, and yeast.

According to European Bioplastics, an industry association, 2.4 million tonnes of bioplastics was made globally in 2021—a number expected to triple to around 7.5 million tonnes by 2026.

In 2050, humans are churning out trillions of pounds of plastic a year and, in the process, emitting the greenhouse gas equivalent of over 600 coal-fired power plants.
