Unfortunately, they are manufactured from fossil resources using highly energy-intensive techniques that release hazardous waste and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. How it works: the team took a three-pronged optimization approach to increase fermentation efficiency and output (Courtesy: FE Liew et al / Nature Biotechnology ).

GAO states that research suggests that biorecycling of plastics could help promote a circular economy in which plastic waste is continuously reincorporated into new products. Biorecycling of plastics could help promote a circular economy by turning waste into more useful products while reducing dependence on fossil fuels for new plastics.

In general, experts highlight the life sciences, computing and information sciences, engineering, and biotechnology for increased support, and many also emphasize the convergence of such disciplines. Additionally, while the use of waste material as a feedstock is central to a circular economy, there are often challenges to its use.
