AMES, Iowa – Yan Zhao gestured toward the trees outside his campus window on a rainy afternoon. The professor of chemistry at Iowa State University is developing new synthetic catalysts to break down ...

New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed that a super-enzyme engineered in the lab can degrade plastic six times faster than a previous plastic-eating ...

What if you could add enzymes to plastic, which would decompose the plastic into safe and biodegradable parts after use? Scientists are doing just that.

Back in 2018, scientists in Japan made the key discovery of a bacterium with a natural appetite for PET plastics. This raised the prospect of a low-cost solution to some of the most common forms of ...

Scientists at the University of Portsmouth merged two enzymes to create a more effective protein to decompose plastic waste. This could help reduce and recycle the amount of plastic on Earth. A team ...

A two-enzyme cocktail can break down the most common plastic six times faster than before. Scientists in many disciplines study ways to close the loop on plastic waste by recycling and reuse. These ...

A plastic-eating 'super-enzyme' could solve the never-ending global plastic pollution. That is what researchers in Colorado have found in their recent experiment. If this works, all plastic materials ...

A trans-Atlantic team of scientists have made a discovery that will allow plastics to be made and reused endlessly - a huge leap toward tackling plastic waste, a growing worldwide environmental ...

(CNN) — Scientists have created a new “super enzyme” that can break down plastic up to six times faster than their previous enzyme. A team of researchers that previously re-engineered a plastic-eating ...
