Scientists make breakthrough discovery that could solve major issue with plastic: 'Real-world applications'

Scientists have found a way to turn common agricultural materials into bioplastics that can be "infinitely recyclable." According to Interesting Engineering, the U.S. National Science Foundation has granted a research and development group $7 million to design the bioplastic-producing enzymes. These enzymes encourage rapid chemical reactions, turning biomaterial into biodegradable plastic by breaking it down into single units. The research team …
