A group of scientists has paired a plastic-eating enzyme called PETase with another enzyme to create a cocktail that can digest plastic up to six times faster than previously possible. The team used a second enzyme found in the same plastic consuming bacterium that has been combined with PETase to speed up the breakdown of the plastic. PETase can break … Continue reading
