Some would say that we should get rid of plastics altogether, and they may have a point.
But this is a new enzyme that can break down plastics in a few days, where they would ordinarily take centuries.
This is a major leap in recycling technology that will turn existing plastics into virgin material for making new goods.
Technology wins again!
