A new technology harnesses bacteria to create a bioplastic resin, creating plastic from sewage.
The process, developed by Micromidas, transforms sewage into a biodegradable plastic by first removing the water and certain solids. A group of bacteria that address different parts of the sewage, such as sugars or fats, then work together to produce a bioplastic polystyrene that is similar to the top of a disposable coffee cup.
The bioplastic resin will biodegrade within 6 to 12 months.
