Breakthrough turns food waste into plastic and fertilizer in double win for Earth
SMRTR summary
Scientists at Binghamton University have developed a method to convert food waste into biodegradable plastic using bacteria. The process creates polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) plastic and could help reduce landfill waste and plastic pollution. The technique is robust, works with various food types, and produces a residue that may serve as organic fertilizer.
