We are just getting started’: the plastic-eating bacteria that could change the world - literature.cafe

When a microbe was found munching on a plastic bottle in a rubbish dump, it promised a recycling revolution. Now scientists are attempting to turbocharge those powers in a bid to solve our waste crisis. But will it work?

Who knows what its consequences are? How about a simpler approach, like reducing plastic use maybe instead of some pie in the sky project?
With how heavily integrated plastics are into EVERYTHING in our society, I think that’s not necessarily the “simpler” approach, even if I agree that it’s vital.
