BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
The Wieduwilt group is researching how plastic can be recycled using a natural principle: the enzymatic degradation of plant biomass. The aim is to break down plastic into its monomer building blocks in order to then produce plastic of the same quality as before. This could be a solution to the problem that only nine percent of plastic waste is recycled worldwide.
