Biosystems has developed a plastic that can sense when it\u2019s in the ocean and break itself down without creating microplastics. E.V.A. Biosystems\u2019 plastic adds special bacteria to conventional plastic that detect when they\u2019re in environments like seawater and activate enzymes that break down the material. E.V.A. said the technology does not create harmful microplastics, unlike chemical degradation.<\/p>\n<p>The new solution secured the top prize in the SSE-sponsored Net Zero category at this year\u2019s Converge Awards, an annual awards ceremony designed to reward Scottish academic innovation. E.V.A. Biosystems impressed judges with its novel approach to tackling plastic pollution, earning a \u00a330,000 cash prize and \u00a319,500 of in-kind business support from SSE and Converge\u2019s network of industry partners to develop the business.<\/p>\n<p>The company also won the \u00a320,000 IBioIC Award, a prize presented to a biotech business with a product or process that addresses a real market need.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/new-start-up-creates-smart-plastic-that-self-destructs-in-the-sea\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-604\/\">New start-up creates \u201csmart\u201d plastic that self-destructs in the sea<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,902,1129],"class_list":["post-134434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-microplastics","tag-ocean"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134434\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
