A 16 year old Canadian boy isolates microorganisms that degrade plastic bags

You should be talking about green plastic bags, which can be degraded by microorganisms such as bacteria, molds (fungi) and algae...

The natural degradation time of ordinary polyethylene plastic bags is 200 years, and there are no microorganisms that can help to degrade plastic bags. Some countries in the world have banned the use of plastic bags, and on June 1, 2008, China banned free plastic bags. However, many non-standard markets or stalls, small shops, and small vendors are still secretly using free plastic bags, and they have been banned repeatedly!

Due to ignorance and greed for convenience, the awareness of the Chinese people about white pollution is still very low.

There is no technology that can effectively speed up the degradation of plastic bags and reduce white pollution, only from you and me, from persuading friends around you, to arouse the awakening of the whole people.

No bacteria have been found that can eat plastic bags, so white pollution is very widespread, from Europe to Africa, from continents to oceans, everywhere.

The "white pollution" caused by plastic bags has long become a public hazard on the earth, so it has been called "the worst invention of mankind". Daniel Bird, a 16-year-old high school student in Canada, has found that through a miraculous pseudomonastic bacteria, the natural degradation process of plastic bags can be shortened to 3 months, and only water and a small amount of carbon dioxide will be produced during the decomposition process, without producing a large amount of pollutants.

The natural decomposition time of plastic bags usually ranges from 20 to 1000 years. Byrd believes that it will always be broken down by microorganisms by finding bacteria that can break down polyethylene, the raw material for plastic bags, and then aggregating those bacteria. Under the guidance of his teacher, he discovered that a mixture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and deltamethrin-degrading bacteria, both of which are pseudomonastic bacteria, can break down plastic bags much faster.

Now the latest research on "methane oxidizing bacteria" degrades plastics.

Fungi, bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methane oxidizing bacteria).

Plastic bags in the soil should be said to be degraded, not decomposed by microorganisms, the decomposition time depends on the material, ordinary plastic 500 years,

Generally speaking, the color does not fade much for decades, to be specific, it is estimated that if the soil has corrosion properties faster, it is better to burn it out, and then let the atmosphere circulate to update the harmful gases.

About 200 years or more, because of this compound. Not suitable for most decomposers.

Plastic bags "white pollution" has become a nuisance to the planet and has been called "the worst invention of mankind." Daniel Bird, a 16-year-old high school student in Canada, found through research that false a striking single-celled bacteria, plastic bags can naturally degrade the process to three months, with only a small amount of water and carbon dioxide in the process of decomposition, without producing a large amount of pollutants.

Naturally decomposing plastic bags, usually between 20 and 1000 Bird believes that it will always be broken down by microorganisms, and the way to do this is to identify bacteria that can decompose the raw material of plastic bags - polyethylene, these bacteria can concentrate their energy under the guidance of the teacher, and he found that the mixing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and deltamethrin degrading bacteria can greatly speed up the decomposition of plastic bags, these two bacteria are pseudomonocytic bacteria.

It's going to be, but it's going to be very slow, probably tens of thousands of years.

According to a food delivery platform"The most expensive lunch box"According to the data released by the three mainstream takeaway platforms in the market, the total daily order volume of the three platforms is about 28 million, and the average daily consumption is at least 63.28 million takeaway boxes, and it is urgent for microbial technology to accelerate the decomposition of plastics.

According to the report, a professor at the School of Chemistry and Materials Science of Nanjing Normal University said that general plastic products, like garbage bags, will produce white pollution if they are directly buried or incinerated, and dioxins will be produced by incineration, which are difficult to degrade after 100 years of burial.

At present, the general choice for the use of plastic products is regranulation. The plastic products produced by this method are relatively low-end, and can no longer be made into food-grade plastic boxes or materials that are in contact with food, re-granulation, and re-melting at high temperatures, which will break the polymer chain in the polymer materials and reduce the physical properties.

Compared with the regranulation method, technologies such as microbial degradation can accelerate the decomposition of plastics in the future. Cryogenic technology can also be used to quickly break the polymer chain, and then the corresponding monomer, the monomer can be polymerized into the corresponding plastic products again.

It is hoped that the relevant departments can introduce corresponding measures to collect, classify and utilize the huge amount of urban garbage to reduce white pollution!

It is mainly saprophytic microorganisms, bacteria, molds, and some microscopic algae.
