BioPROTEIN (Biological Plastic Reuse by Olefin and Ester Transforming Engineered Isolates and Natural Consortia), is a four year project starting in 2020 that aims to refine a method of chemical and high heat (pyrolysis) deconstruction of plastic waste that enables it to be converted into protein powder and lubricants.
