AUSTIN, Texas — An enzyme variant created by engineers and scientists at The University of Texas at Austin can break down environment-throttling plastics
There are more than 30 million tons of plastic waste sitting in American landfills. Those plastics can take hundreds of years to break down naturally. A scientific breakthrough could help clean it up much faster.
The new enzyme works at lower temperatures than previous ones, which would make it greener, faster, and cheaper
