Scientists in Scotland have chemically engineered a plastic-hungry bacteria that eats and “upcycles” plastic, chemically breaking it down into adipic acid, a critical ingredient in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and fragrance industries. By using this bio-upcycling technology to convert plastic waste into useful resources like makeup and perfume, this approach could help create circular economies and avoid plastic waste reaching waterways and the ocean through canny scientific innovation! 🦠 | Source: Good News Network
