</h4>  <p>Traditionally, mixed non-recyclable waste is sent to landfill or  for incineration, both of which result in environmental damage. The  detrimental effects are perpetrated by the plastic degradation into  toxic byproducts and the production of greenhouse gases by these  processes. We propose to upcycle this mixed waste into the bioplastic  poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) to create a closed loop recycling system.  Our engineered E. coli will operate within sealed bioreactors. In the  future we picture the use of our system in a variety of contexts as part  of our M.A.P.L.E. (Modular And Plastic Looping E.coli) system. </p>

Resource-full Waste

Non-recyclable waste is sourced from a recycling centre, placed in a bioreactor with our M.A.P.L.E system which degrades the waste and synthesises the bioplastic P(3HB).

Plastic Fantastic

Plastic Fantastic is a complete P(3HB) bioplastic recycling platform, where P(3HB) is degraded into monomeric form and then re-polymerised back into de novo P(3HB) for future applications.
