Description
Plastic waste from PET, the stuff of drinks bottles, piles up fast, and germs make an enzyme that can chew it up. Zixuan Li and co-authors set out in 2026 to pin that enzyme to a support so it lasts longer and grips the plastic well.
They built three forms of the enzyme, each with a hook at a set spot, and fixed them to beads that also bind PET. One form kept the speed of the free enzyme and held most of its strength after two hours of strong heat. In ten days it freed more than twice the breakdown goods of the free form. The work points to a firmer route for enzyme based plastic reuse.
