However, the plastic created by Bath University’s scientists doesn’t depend on high temperatures.

Instead, it can be degraded back into sugar and CO2 using only the enzymes found in soil bacteria.

Non-toxic

Another major advantage of using sugar and carbon dioxide to make a polycarbonate is the absence of the highly toxic chemicals that are often used in the manufacturing process.

Many polycarbonates contain bisphenol-A (BPA), which when used in bottles and containers can leach into food and drink.
