Enzymes Offer a Biological Route to Recycling Instead of Landfill
Original: Using Enzymes instead of the Landfill: How Biological Processes Can Help with Recycling
Scientists are highlighting how enzymes and other biological processes could break down waste materials for recycling, reducing reliance on landfill. Enzyme-based recycling has drawn attention in fields such as plastics, where engineered enzymes can depolymerise materials back into reusable building blocks. Observers see the approach as a promising complement to mechanical recycling, though scaling it up industrially remains a challenge.
Why now: Growing interest in sustainable waste solutions and enzyme-based recycling technologies
