Plastic bottles have been transformed into a drug to treat Parkinsonโ€™s disease using bacteria, a study has shown.

It is the first time a natural, biological process has been used to turn plastic waste, which would otherwise end up in landfill, into a drug for a neurological disease to help improve peopleโ€™s lives.
