ICYMI: Frontiers in Science: Breaking the cycle of plastic pollution

Now on Los Alamos National Laboratory’s YouTube page, biochemist Taraka Dale explores how the Lab and its partners are using R&D 100 award-winning smart microbial cell technology to upcycle today’s plastic trash and design degradable plastics for the future.

This groundbreaking work is part of the Department of Energy’s new Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment, aka the BOTTLE program. You can learn about smart microbial cells in this recent 1663 magazine article
