Plastic-eating enzymes are revolutionizing waste management. These biological catalysts accelerate plastic decomposition, offering a sustainable solution to the growing plastic crisis affecting our environment.
Unlike traditional recycling, enzymes break down plastics at the molecular level, enabling efficient, eco-friendly waste management while reducing landfill overflow and ocean pollution.
Researchers are engineering enzymes to degrade plastics faster. Advances like PETase and MHETase are paving the way for scalable solutions to tackle plastic waste worldwide.
As technology advances, enzyme-based recycling could replace conventional methods, ensuring a cleaner planet. Widespread adoption could significantly cut plastic pollution in the coming decades.
