Mealworms & superworms have become the poster children for plastic biodegradation, but new research shows that while they can chew PVC, they can’t eat away at the problem. @WoodsideEnergy @arc_gov_au @Fritz_Lab @UWAresearch uwa.au/xrs8zg
Georg Fritz retweeted
New #RSCSustainability study shows that Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is not chemically degraded by mealworms emphasising the need for alternative plastic waste management strategies. Read the full paper from Zahra Tahroudi and @Fritz_Lab: doi.org/10.1039/D4SU00618F

In @Fritz_Lab 🧪🔬🧬
we ramp up the process' efficiency by producing the fastest plastic degrading enzymes with the fastest growing, marine bacterium in the world. We also train our bacterium to eat the degradation products to fully make use of the plastic and to leave no trace.
Georg Fritz retweeted
Plastic that is not reused often ends up in the environment. To prevent this, plastic needs to be understood as valuable, recyclable resource. At @Fritz_Lab, our research tries to develop microbial plastic degradation as a potential sustainable recycling method for the future.
