Scientists accidentally identified an enzyme that eats plastic and are now optimizing it to devour plastic 1,000 times faster! Plastic could be broken down into its component parts in a year or two instead of hundreds of years or longer. This could help humanity eliminate the islands of plastic in our oceans and mountains of plastic clogging landfills, and greatly reduce the need for new oil discoveries and the environmental harm that occurs when extracting and processing it.
A Wonderful Accident
