Latest Trends in Global Plastic-Eating Enzyme Market

A plastic-eating enzyme is a remarkable biochemical substance that possesses the unique ability to break down and digest plastic materials, specifically polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE).

These enzymes are a groundbreaking solution to the global plastic pollution crisis, as they offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly means of reducing plastic waste.

The most famous plastic-eating enzyme is PETase, originally discovered in bacteria at a Japanese recycling plant. PETase and similar enzymes work by catalyzing the hydrolysis of plastic polymers, breaking them down into their constituent monomers, which can then be used to create new plastic products.

This process not only reduces the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and oceans but also has the potential to transform plastic recycling by making it more efficient and cost-effective.

Research and development efforts are ongoing to enhance the efficiency and practicality of these enzymes, opening up exciting possibilities for addressing the global plastic pollution problem and moving toward a more sustainable future.

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS

Alper and his team of engineers and scientists created a variant of an enzyme called hydrolase using an ML algorithm. The enzyme is capable of breaking down PET (polyethylene terephthalate), one of the most common plastics used today, into its component molecules.

Once PET plastic waste breaks down, however, it can be reused to create entirely new PET materials, essentially leading to a circular plastics economy. In the past, attempts at enzymatic degradation were unsuccessful, mainly due to a lack of robustness to acidity (pH), temperature ranges, and slow reaction rates.

During the project, Alper and the team at UT Austin found that the novel plastic-eating enzyme, referred to as FAST-PETase (functional, active, stable, and tolerant PETase), can break down plastics at a much faster rate than other PET hydrolases used in prior studies. It is also capable of degrading both mixed-colour and clear PET plastic products.

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

The team at the University of Texas submitted a patent to explore the potential applications for this new technology found by Austin the novel plastic-eating enzyme, referred to as FAST-PETase.

The goal is to scale up manufacturing of the FAST-PETase enzyme so it can be used in practical ways within the environmental and industrial sectors. It will be interesting to see the potential impacts of this discovery and whether it will help address the issue of plastic pollution.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

The University of Portsmouth's Centre for Enzyme Innovation (CEI) will officially open its new Industrial Engagement Hub (IEH).

The IEH will bring together researchers and businesses to develop enzyme-enabled technologies for the recycling and upcycling of plastic waste at an industrial scale.

PET is the most common thermoplastic, used to make single-use drink bottles, clothing, and carpets and it takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment.

The plastic-eating PETase enzyme breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic infinitely and reduce plastic pollution and the greenhouse gases driving climate change.
