Currently, plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental issues people face. One of the solutions is to create a biodegradable plastic. Breaking down biodegradable plastic, compared with traditional petroleum-based plastic, is more energy-efficient and less time-consuming. Scientists have successfully created biodegradable plastic by mixing non-harmful chemicals: carbon dioxide and sugar. We are interested in the enzyme: FAST-PETase because it plays a major role in depolymerizing plastics very fast. Using genetically engineered Escherichia coli to produce this enzyme will make the degrading process more accessible and it can be implemented in small portable stations.
