This is why the majority of forecasts of gloom and future doom don’t pan out - people tend to discount innovation and discovery.


This is a fantastic piece of news.


Could it be possible to correct the spelling of "enzyme"? Thanks


The title talks about recycling, but it sounds more like the enzyme is breaking down plastics. Does something useful come out of this?


After breaking down plastic it can recycled to make same quality products. Typical heating recycling process can make only low grade plastic. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/huge-step-forward-mu...
