species of animals are affected by plastic pollution, with millions of animals, including seabirds, fish, and various marine organisms,
impacted each year
An average adult consumes approximately 12,100 microplastic particles annually through air, food, and beverages, contributing to 400,000 to 1 million deaths per year. Plastic exposure is linked to hormone imbalances, lung disease, insulin resistance, reproductive issues, and cancer.
has decided to use biorecycling to reduce and mitigate the detrimental effects of plastic waste with an eco-friendly strategy with no known environmental impacts.
Our team aims to improve PETase enzyme activity through mutations under inducible promoters, T7 and pGal1,10, to enhance plastic degradation and make biorecycling more efficient.
