Polyethylene is a widely used plastic with strong chemical bonds, but new methods offer a promising way to reuse the material.

This report presents a comprehensive patent landscape for Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) technologies, analyzing 12,932 patents spanning from 2005 to 2023. Recent trends indicate moderate but ...

While studying the structure of an enzyme found in that bacteria, the researchers accidentally created a “mutant enzyme” that can break down plastic within a few days.
