Explore the possibility of plastivores— organisms that can eat and
break down plastic— helping reduce the plastic waste on
Earth.--Each year humanity produces roughly 400 million tons of
plastic, 80% of which is discarded as trash. Of that plastic waste,
only one-tenth is recycled. 60% gets incinerated or goes into the
landfills, and 30% leaks out into the environment. Fortunately,
there are microbes that may be able to take a bite out of this
growing problem. Tierney Thys and Christian Sardet explore the
future of recycling.Lesson by Tierney Thys and Christian Sardet,
