“Much of the waste in the UK includes carbon-intensive materials. It is estimated that more than 90% of non-food products manufactured for day-to-day use in the UK are made using fossil fuels and unsustainable chemical processes…

The £14m UK hub will harness the power of engineering biology, where engineering principles are used to redesign existing biological processes. It will transform carbon-based waste materials into new, value-added ingredients, including materials for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.”

Abstract:

“An extract derived from okra and fenugreek can remove over 90 per cent of microplastics from water, according to a new study that may help develop safe ways to get rid of the toxic material.

…

Natural polymers in okra and fenugreek as well as tamarind grab onto microplastic particles, causing them to clump together and sink to the bottom.

This makes it easier to separate the tiny plastic particles from water.

….

Researchers said the plant extracts performed significantly better than commercially available synthetic polymers currently used in wastewater treatment.”
