the globe is grappling with a massive<\/span>\u00a0plastic pollution catastrophe<\/span><\/a>. the university of texas at austin has discovered an enzyme that consumes plastic, which could be a crucial breakthrough in combating the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

according to research, the amount of plastic produced worldwide has doubled in the past 20 years. much of it is burned, dumped in landfills or released into the environment, particularly the <\/span>oceans<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

only 9 percent of plastic is successfully recycled, while 22 percent of plastic is mishandled, according to <\/span>the organization for economic co-operation and development\u2019s (oecd)\u00a0<\/span>global<\/span>\u00a0plastics outlook report<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>teams of scientists and researchers are constantly dedicating time and resources to devising novel solutions to the expanding issue of plastic pollution worldwide. plastic is not naturally biodegradable.<\/span><\/p>\n

researchers at the university of texas (ut) in austin developed a machine learning method to produce a new type of enzyme that can break down plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n

according to estimates from the united nations environment programme<\/span>\u00a0(unep), around<\/span>\u00a07 billion tons of plastic<\/span><\/a>\u00a0manufactured between 1950 and 2017 were disposed of as plastic garbage in landfills or discarded. plastic trash has the potential to <\/span><\/p>\n
