Researchers concluded that it was possible to produce paracetamol from plastic residues, "through a process that would not only work with chemical or biological synthesis," says the study.
The painkiller paracetamol is currently mainly made from petroleum. Researchers have now found a way to use the plastic PET for the drug. The microbes function as small bioreactors.
In-line NMR Drives Orthogonal Real-Plastics Transformation
The mounting crisis of plastic waste has escalated into a grave environmental challenge, threatening the delicate balance of ecosystems and imperiling countless wildlife species. As plastic pollution infiltrates every corner of the planet, from the deepest oceans to remote terrestrial landscapes, the urgency to develop effective mitigation strategies has intensified. Traditional recycling approaches struggle to cope with the complexity and diver…
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have succeeded in developing an innovative and pioneering technique that allows the manufacture of paracetamol from genetically modified bacteria. This fact has been published in the journal 'Nature Chemistry' and could mean a revolution in the management of waste and in the sustainable production of medicines. According to the publication, scientists would have discovered that the bacteria Escherichia c…
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have succeeded in converting PET plastic waste into paracetamol, the famous painkiller. Thanks to genetically modified E. coli bacteria and a novel chemical reaction in biological environments, this method promises to reduce pollution while offering a much more sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing.
