In this effort, researchers at Tianjin University in China have designed an easy-to-recycle, biodegradable plastic from DNA." Dayong Yang/ Tianjin University (China) A new plastic made from DNA is renewable,requires little energy to make and easy to recycle or break down. Traditional plastics are bad for the environment because they are made from no n-renewable petrochemicals,require intense heating and toxic chemicals to make,and take hundreds of years to break down. only small fraction of them are recycled,with the rest ending up in landfill, being incinerated or polluting the environment.
