Two Scientists seems to have found the solution, U.S. Scientists have create a food generator that turns Plastic garbage into protein. This generator uses microbes that are gene-hacked.

STUDY SUGGESTS BACTERIA IN COW’S STOMACH CAN BREAK DOWN PLASTIC

There are existing microbes that are able to degrade natural polyester, found for example in the peels of tomatoes or apples. Given that cow diets contain these natural polyesters, Scientists suspected the bovine stomach would contain a cornucopia of microbes to degrade the all the plant material. WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DID? Rumen liquid was incubated with the three types of polyesters – PET (a…
