🌱 Japanese scientists create biodegradable plastic stronger than PET
A group of bioengineers in Japan engineered E. coli bacteria capable of producing an alternative to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) — one of the most widely used industrial thermoplastics. The new material not only decomposes naturally but also surpasses PET in strength. Moreover, bacteria can produce it from glucose in unprecedented quantities without by-products.
