It is horrifying to learn that the weight of plastics produced by the world each year is as much as that of total people living on earth. Half of plastics we have used end up in landfilling but it is sad to know only less than 10% can be incinerated. As recycling appears to be more downcycling, the good news is the scientists have disvovered some enzymes that can be used in recycling plastics into its building blocks. I'm utterly glad that the LCC enzyme show promise to break down even stronger plastics. Hope the world is gonna be clean as much as it used to be.

This service is simply outstanding

Hope one day, scientists are able to create enzymes that can eat nuclear waste!

I'm afraid, nuclear waste cannot be neutralized using chemical reactions, it needs other types of transformation which affect the nucleus.

@@Timo_UAUnderstood. It’s not necessary “enzymes” but any mechanisms that could neutralize nuclear waste! Nuclear waste is much more damaging and dangerous to the environment and livelihood of our planet than any other wastes!

And then what will happen to those enzymes???

One of the problems with these enzimes in my opitnion is to prevent them from recycing the plastic which is still in use )))

The idea of plastic waste eaten by enzymes is good but it would be better if we can replace the plastic with another product less polluting and less expensive

Yes, but what product should we use rather than plastic ?

When you cause something to happen, it means that you make something, a chemical reaction in this case, occur. So in this context you can use happen as a synonym for occur
