Plasticure
The Problem
In 2012, 25,2 million tons of plastic waste were produced in Europe alone, among which only 26 % were recycled while 36 % were burned in order to produce energy and the remaining 38 % were dumped or buried.
Our solution
Our ambition is to design a system capable of producing a interesting molecule from the digestion products of plastic pollutants.
The PlastiCure project solves two problems:
- Degradation of plastic waste : with a system of bio-degradation of plastic, our bacteria will transforme it to a viable product
- Synthesis of a medicine : with our product and a biosynthesis way, we want to product a medecine.
