Potential Solution for Plastic Degradation-- Genetical Modification

Abstract

Plastic, Invented in 1909. More accurately, phenol-formaldehyde resin, first kind of plastic was invented in 1909. Plastic, as a shapable and flexible material, has entered nearly everywhere of our lives. Plastics always take up in an irreplaceable role without any doubts, whereas, with the using of plastics, some irreversible damages have crushed the earth and left their footprints. Nowadays, in order to reduce or even eliminate these awful outcomes, plastic degradation, in other words, a way to reverse these damages, should be put more concentration on. This work tries to provide a worth-considering way which overlap the plastic degradation and genetic engineering to handle this problem. In additional, this work also discussed the perniciousness of plastic products and ethical problems in this article.
