Ep. 153 - Eleonore Eisath: Using the Power of Nature to Recycle the World’s Most-Used Plastics

Can we get rid of all the plastic in the oceans? 

Like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, 1.6 million square kilometers of plastic trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. 

Some see this never-decomposing trash as one of the biggest problems facing our species, others like Eleonore Eisath see that plastic as a “locked resource” that can be tapped into. 

Her company Beworm is developing a biocatalytic recycling process that decomposes plastic waste into natural raw materials—it’s about as cool as it gets!
