PETabytes
Our Mission
Our team has attempted to create a new and more potent enzyme that will accelerate the process of plastic biodegradation. We will utilize the enzyme PETase, which has the ability to bio-deconstruct a specific type of plastic called PET. It's one of the most common plastics, as it is used in food packaging, beverages, textile products, etc. We plan to perform a technique called hybridization in order to combine the PETase with the Cutinase enzyme, which also has the ability to biodegrade PET.
