Among the lines of research are gaining more knowledge of microorganisms that degrade polymers and developing bioplastics that are reintegrated into the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution can be found in nature, according to the paper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/363191511_Environmental_impact_and_mitigation_of_micronanoplastics_pollution_using_green_catalytic_tools_and_green_analytical_methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Environmental impact and mitigation of micro(nano)plastics pollution using green catalytic tools and green analytical methods<\/em>,<\/a> which analyzes mitigation strategies based on the use of enzymes to break down polymers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Published by Mar\u00eda Fernanda C\u00e1rdenas Alcaide, a Nanotechnology Engineering student at the School of Engineering and Science at Tec, and directed by professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Hafiz-Iqbal-2\">Hafiz Iqbal<\/a>, the paper explains that we need to find \u201ca practical, feasible, and environmentally friendly strategy to tackle the current crisis of plastic pollution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDifferent microorganisms have developed capacities in plastic utilization, turning it into food, into energy. More than 90 microorganisms have been discovered, including fungi and bacteria, which have demonstrated abilities to degrade plastic wastes,\u201d says the young researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to C\u00e1rdenas Alcaide, if marine pollution continues at the current rate, there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plastic crisis alternatives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/tag\/institute-of-advanced-materials-for-sustainable-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing<\/a> aims to generate alternatives to reduce the use of plastics derived from oil. The leader of the Accelerated Materials Development Unit,  <a href=\"https:\/\/research.tec.mx\/vivo-tec\/display\/PID_294635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dora Iliana Medina<\/a>, explains that it\u2019s about innovating on the development of bio-based polymers (also colloquially known as bioplastics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRenewable sources produce plastics that can undergo recycling and biodegradation. They\u2019re compostable. Currently, all the waste material from the agrifood industry can be used to make bioplastics,\u201d explains Medina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, when drinking straw companies were forced to stop using traditional plastic, they started using bagasse from sugar cane or corn to produce new straws that can be reincorporated into nature after use. Medina says that the steps for creating these materials are quite simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the bio-based material has been chosen, it is chemically treated, and the compound of interest is isolated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndustrialization is the big challenge, as the market favors plastics because the prices are lower than for natural products. It\u2019s going to be a bit more expensive because it\u2019s an innovation,\u201d she warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plastic: A misused material<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.tec.mx\/vivo-tec\/display\/PID_114562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cecilia Trevi\u00f1o Quintanilla<\/a>, also a researcher at the <strong>Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing<\/strong>, says that plastic\u2019s mechanical properties make it the perfect material. What\u2019s more, the fact that it\u2019s easy to process makes it very economical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says that the problem lies in <strong>humanity using a material that lasts for millions of years in a disposable manner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen plastics are exposed to solar rays, their chains break down and they become smaller. Microplastics have even been found in human urine,\u201d says the polymer specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trevi\u00f1o Quintanilla is investigating how to become part of the solution to the plastic crisis. She\u2019s currently working on a project to degrade rubber, a material we can\u2019t yet recycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPolymers are chains, so what we\u2019re doing is using a chemical process to break them apart. Once all the bonds have been broken, we can make another rubber out of them,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her research, in collaboration with the<strong> Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)<\/strong>, aims to make it <a href=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/tech\/recycle-tires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">possible to recycle even vulcanized tires<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stopping the worldwide plastic crisis involves scientific disciplines such as biotechnology and the development of new materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":157226,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[156,110,135],"class_list":["post-157225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biotechnology","tag-biotechnology","tag-institute-of-advanced-materials-for-sustainable-manufacturing","tag-school-of-engineering-and-sciences"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Does the plastic crisis have a solution?
