Featured News: Plastic Eating Enzymes

The early research of Scientist Sintawee Sulaiman has led to the evolution of an enzyme capable of breaking down plastic polymers into their usable components. This is a significant step towards reusing plastic without the accumulation of plastic-associated chemical byproducts. Although plastic is still not ideal for various reasons, such as the leeching of PFAS into our skin and food, this process can help reuse plastic for current uses, reducing the need for new petrochemical acquisition. Ultimately, this would result in drilling less, as we would be able to reuse what is already in the pipeline. This is an exciting development! Check out the full article by the BBC here!
