The negative health influences of plastic on both wildlife and humans have been well-known. However, the material, which is used for everything from shopping bags to drink bottles to food packaging, is hard to avoid. What's worse, the small percentage of recycled plastic is of lower quality and can only be used a few times before it has to be thrown away.
Now, French company Carbios wants to help solve the problem with a plastic-eating enzyme (酶) that digests plastic and turns it into its chemical building blocks. The resulting material can be used to create anything and, more importantly, can be endlessly recycled.
"Traditional method of recycling plastic is limited," explains Carbios CEO Martin Stephan. "And you cannot recycle it infinitely (无限). After six or seven cycles of recycling, the plastic might only be good enough to use for item like clothing or carpets, and eventually, it will have to be discarded entirely. So it's not a solution for the end of life of plastics, while our solution is an infinite recycling solution."
The recycling process, which is currently in its pilot stage, will be tested on a larger scale in France. The company has already signed up several large customers, who are all eager to reduce their ecological (生态) footprint. "Our goal is to bring this technology on the market by 2024 at large industrial scale," said Stephan.
However, Stephan believes we can only win the battle if people make sure that plastic waste doesn't end up in the environment or in landfills. So next time you use a plastic bottle or container, be sure to make the extra effort to place it in a recycling bin.

How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)? Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how: |
Step 1: Boil the eggs. Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath. |
Step 2:Prepare the dyes (染料) Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter! |
Step 3: Color the eggs. Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be. |
Step 4: Dry the eggs. Place the eggs on paper to allow them to fully dry. If you plan to cat the eggs, keep them in the fridge. Don't leave them out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. |
