Plastic waste dumped in landfills could be disposed of sooner than expected, after engineers developed an enzyme that can break it down in just a few hours.

A team from the University of Texas in Austin created a new enzyme variant that can supercharge recycling on a large scale, reducing the impact of plastic pollution.

Researchers in Texas have created an enzyme variant that can break down plastics that would typically take hundreds of years to dissolve in a matter of hours or days.

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed an enzyme variant that gobbles up environment-throttling plastics. This may just resolve our plastic woes once and for all.

Plastics are a part of our everyday lives, from food containers to soda bottles to soap dispensers to the life-saving ventilators used at hospitals. This c | Earth And The Environment

As youve no doubt noticed, theres a worryingly large amount of plastic pollution, and scientists are working hard to find ways to use plastic without causing so much long-term damage to the environment around us.

An enzyme created by scientists at the University of Texas, Austin can break down plastics that typically take centuries to degrade in a matter of hours.

The researchers said the new enzyme has the potential to “supercharge” recycling on a large scale.
