Researchers engineered E. coli to turn sugar from plants into the raw materials for biorenewable plastics. Those biorenewable plastics are called PDKs, a new type of plastic that can be efficiently recycled over and over again. Replacing petrochemicals with the bio alternative expanded the PDK's working temperature, opening applications in the auto industry and beyond With even modest improvements, using bio alternatives could be both greener and cheaper than petrochemicals in the near-term. Plastic waste is a problem.
