A 16 year old high school student discovered how to disassemble plastic in 3 months



One of the pronouns of environmental destruction is plastic garbage that has been thrown away there. Even though garbage is thrown away somewhere, microorganisms will decompose soon, so there is not much harm, but plastic and plastic bags are not easily decomposed, so it was a problem to keep remaining for a long time.

However, it seems that 16 year old high school student has found a way to disassemble plastic in just three months.

Details are as below.

Daniel Burd (16), a high school student in Canada, has found a way to disassemble it in 3 months, although decomposition of plastics has been said to take thousands of years.

Mr. Burd took a hit, even if it takes a thousand years, something that will decompose the plastic exists, which probably will be bacteria. And when mixing waste with yeast, raw water, boiled down with plastics, plastic seems to have decomposed faster than it is decomposed in nature. After experimenting with different temperature and composition, Burd separates microorganisms. I found out that one species is Pseudomonas genus and the other is Sphingomonas species.

Burd says that it is easy to do this disassembly on an industrial scale. It is necessary for this work that the watchers, mediators, plastics and bacteria are used, only water and a small amount of carbon dioxide are consumed.
