The University of Portsmouth scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme PETase have now created an enzyme cocktail which can digest plastic up to six times faster.
A second enzyme, found in the same rubbish dwelling bacterium that lives on a diet of plastic bottles, has been combined with PETase to speed up the breakdown of plastic.
