This project explores the potential of recycling proteins, a sustainable polymer, into other useful polymers through a circular process. It aims to demonstrate that natural proteins can be transformed into different forms, paving the way for innovative recycling methods for synthetic materials.
In 2070, 10^12 Kg of plastics (polymers) could be produced yearly in a world inhabited by 11 billion people.
Hence, we have ~50 years to address this sustainability challenge.
The sourcing and disposing of such quantities without a significant environmental impact will not be possible, even if everything is bio-sourced and bio-degraded.
Yet, on earth, there are >10^12 Kg of proteins (one of Nature’s polymers).
They are sustainable because they are recycled in a circular way.
If we exemplify thei…
