For years, unrecycled plastic bottles have been dumped in landfills. Now, thanks to new research from UBC Okanagan, those bottles may have a second life in that landfill -- stabilizing its earth walls. Used plastic bottles and textiles pose an increasing problem for landfills worldwide. Researchers say nearly a hundred million metric tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), also known as microplastics, are produced globally each year -- with a fraction of that number being recycled -- making it one of the largest sources of plastic waste. "One way we can manage plastic waste is through integrating it into geotechnical construction," explains doctoral student Alok Chandra. "By finding new ways to use these discarded plastics, we can divert them from landfills and use them to stabilize cover materials within landfills." Chandra and his supervisor, UBCO Engineering Professor Dr. Sumi Siddiqua, have developed a new method of incorporating PET waste into clay soil stabilization.

Week 5
Initially I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my discussion post as this week we are free to write about whatever we want. I settled on talking about plastic recycling using plastic eating bacteria. Last week I read an article on this and it inspired me to look into how they are using plastic eating bacteria and how they could be used in the future. I found out about that In 2021 a French Company called Carbios partnered with nestle and Pepsi when they began using a enzyme called PETase (PETase is one of a handful on enzymes that is capable to breakdown plastic) to assist in the Degradation of PET plastics (PET plastic is the most common form of plastic in water bottles and product packaging) to process about 250kg of PET plastic waste every day or 91 tonnes per year, breaking it down into its precursor molecules, Which then can be made into new clear plastic. Typically recycled plastic is not clear and has a more opaque look to it which companies often find undesirable. For example A recycled plastic bottle becomes a mottled bag, which becomes fibrous jacket insulation, which then becomes road filler, never to be recycled again. So having the ability to continuously recycle and remake clear plastic will massively reduce the amount of new plastic that is made.
Carbios is able to complete this recycling process by shredding the plastic and running it through a machine which freezes it and forces it through a tiny opening at great pressure. The plastic pops out as pellets about the size of corn kernels. At the microscopic level, it is much less dense than its original form. which gives the enzymes a larger surface area to attack allowing for increased degradation.
The plastic pellets are placed in a solution of water and PETase, inside a sealed steel tank. As time goes on, the plastic erodes away, and its components dissolve into the solution, leaving only a grayish liquid. The liquid now contains the two components ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, which can be separated out and turned into new plastic. Fortunately, This technique scales easily. Two years ago the company was recycling a few kilos of plastic a day; now they do about 250kg a day. Next year, with the help of a new recycling plant carbios will be able to process 130 tonnes a day or almost 50 thousand tonnes a year.
Many scientists hope that PETase will be used in the future for microplastic clean up. Last year, a German group engineered PETase into marine algae, noting that someday it could be used to break down microplastic in the ocean. Microplastics are a huge issue and there are not many effective ways to do this and using GMO algae is a possibility that should be explored.
Another future use of PETase along with other chemical reactions is to produce hydrogen fuel from plastics. In Plastic on average the second most abundant element within is hydrogen, there are already a few research teams looking into the possibility of using terephthalic acid, one of the by-products of PETase, to make hydrogen fuel. terephthalic acid can also be used in perfumes and can be turned into Vanillin, the compound that creates the “vanilla taste”.
Overall, this biotechnology is very promising for the future of global plastic clean up and recycling. Hopefully this will help make the world a greener and healthier place. Do you think we should release this marine algae into the world's oceans to help clean up microplastics?

World’s first ice cream made from plastic
Reuters | 28 September 2023
The world’s first food made from plastic waste - according to its developer - is vanilla ice cream.
Despite being locked in a freezer in London, she hopes it kickstarts a heated debate about the future of food and the plastic pollution crisis.
The ice cream is actually an art installation called ‘Guilty Flavours’ by artist and designer Eleanora Ortolani, 27, intended to challenge the way we think about plastic waste and what we are - and are not - prepared to eat.
"Guilty Flavours is what I believe is the first sample of ice cream made from plastic waste,” Ortolani told Reuters at Central Saint Martins, part of the University of the Arts London.
“It's coming from the same plastic as we can find in bottles, plastic bottles,” she said.
The process, developed by scientists in Edinburgh, harnesses the metabolic power of bacteria and enzymes to behave as eco-friendly factories to digest polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and turn it into vanillin, the molecule that gives vanilla its flavour.
“There are certain enzymes which do certain chemical reaction,” Dr Joanna Sadler, a biotechnologist at the University of Edinburgh, told Reuters.
“So if you plug those together, you can get through to lots of different chemical products," she said.
Plastic is made of a string of molecules bonded together into what are known as polymers.
Sadler broke those bonds with a hungry microbe, leaving her with molecules that were no longer plastic.
That former PET-soup was then easily processed by another bacteria into vanillin.
Sadler's research, published in the Journal Biochemist in December 2021, focuses on degrading and upcycling plastic and using it as feedstock for microbial growth.
She produced the specially engineered bugs for Ortolani's project but was at pains to point out that the student's ice cream is very much a research project.
It's not currently for human consumption.
"I've even had members of the public email me saying it's irresponsible to encourage people to eat plastic," Sadler said.
"It is really important that we take the safety side of it really, really seriously and we make it very clear that this has to go through exactly the same regulatory processes and food standard processes as any other food ingredient.
And only once it has been through all of those would it go anywhere near any kind of consumer product."
Ortolani, who is from Verona, Italy, said Guilty Flavours was inspired by her frustration with the failure of the recycling system to stop plastic polluting the environment.
It is locked away to highlight what she says is a looming global food crisis.
“We have the tools today to rethink the food system we're living in,” she said.
“This is ready now and today but nobody can really touch it or interact with it because it's not tested for safety yet."
Vanilla, sometimes called 'green gold', is the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron.

Let's take a step back for a moment, please.
Yes, this isn't easy.
Lego did not completely obliterate that argument. Lego has not succeeded yet at meeting their own metrics at a pilot scale, let alone an industrial one. They are testing things to see if they will work well enough, and so far they have not gotten there. Because - yes - bioplastics and recycled plastics do not have the same material properties as standard plastics, and Lego has not finished solving that problem.
As of August 7, 2023, Lego has not provided any more information about their prototype recycled-plastic bricks.
The initial press release announcing their first prototype plastic bricks was from June 2021.
In that release, the team acknowledges that there is still a long path to getting recycled bricks into production. The formulation they have isn't a recycled version of what regular Lego bricks are made of (that's ABS, which isn't commonly recyclable in practice, particularly if colored). It's a modified version of PET, the plastic in single-use water bottles. That plastic is weaker than ABS and Lego is creating a bespoke formulation to get closer to the material properties they need, and they aren't there yet, because this is not easy.
(Even changing the color of a plastic can change its material properties. One standout example of this - there's a case study in which changing a defibrillator case from blue to red-cross red weakened the plastic enough that the case would fail.)
You can check out the WIRED mag article on the subject for more info. Don't take my word for it on the difficulty of this challenge -
Gregg Beckham from the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, who, in 2018 along with Portsmouth University’s John McGeehan, engineered an enzyme that digests PET, is impressed with Lego’s progress.
“ABS is an amazing material. It is extremely versatile, because you can change the ratio of the A the B and the S. And depending on how you formulate it there are a very large number of versions of ABS plastic that you can make. We literally touch it every day,” Beckham says. “PET, on the other hand, is challenging to formulate in a manner that has the same material properties as ABS like you would find in Lego brick. That is an exceptional polymer science challenge, for sure. This is super exciting.”
As for why it has taken so many decades of plastic production to get to this point, Beckham says that while it would be nice if we could wave a magic wand and just make it happen, in many cases the task is deceptively difficult. “This is fundamental material science and engineering that needs to figure out how to meet the same types of material properties with feedstocks that are either from recycled plastic or become recyclable themselves,” he says. “In the case of ABS bricks, they are neither from recycled plastics nor are they recycled at end of life. This potentially could meet both of those challenges simultaneously.”
And those biobased plastics? They're currently not strong enough (as of this article from Sept 2022) to use for bricks. Only about half of all LEGO sets contain any biobased blocks, and bioplastics represent only about 2% of Lego products.
Side note - because they are colored, both the current ABS and future PET Legos pose major challenges for recycling. Even if they are made of recycled material, they will probably themselves not be recycled.
And lastly - Lego is not unique in its quality control or its standards. Plastic snapping together is extremely common (think of any of the bottles in your fridge whose lids snap closed, think of putting the cap back on a ballpoint pen, think of any number of containers which you can open or close, and then imagine a million more things whose assembly depends on snaps you'll never see). Discarding a mold when it reaches its end of life - everyone does that. Every mold has a limited number of pieces it can make before it wears out. Those things are normal.
No, Lego has it easy. Legos don't have to carry loads. They don't have to be exposed to heat, sunlight, rain, corrosion - any of the perils of the outdoors. They don't have to be safe for food contact, they don't have to hold liquid, they don't have to spin or wear or bend or flex, and they don't matter for human life safety. They aren't like any of the plastic in a car's airbag system which must maintain its performance from brutal cold to scorching heat only to fail perfectly when called upon. They aren't like the ketchup bottle in your fridge which must contain a mildly acidic liquid and keep it airtight. They aren't like the connectors of electrical wires; they're not like the gears in your fan that let it spin for days-hours-years; they aren't like the plastic stint in your great-uncle's heart; they aren't like the soles of your shoes, the chair you sat on in elementary school, the bulletproof windows of the bank, the rubber band around your groceries, or the seal that keeps the oil from spilling out of your bus's engine, the plastic case of the defibrillator in the hospital.
No, Legos get to snap together and sit pretty and still indoors.
There are many, many kinds of plastic. Those plastics do many jobs. Some of those jobs are unnecessary and some of those jobs are very difficult, and specific formulations are necessary to accomplish different tasks. Some things can be recycled mostly-easily, some can be recycled with difficulty, and some cannot be recycled at all because of chemical bonds that form in the plastic. Each has to be sorted and treated differently, and almost all plastics degrade with processing and over their service lives. There is no magic wand. There is only hard work and slightly less hard work.
Don't get me wrong - it is very, very cool that Lego is pursuing biobased and recycled plastics. But it is a pursuit and not a current victory. And it does not mean that the problem of plastics recycling is solved.

The future of circular economy: Breaking barriers in PET thermoform recycling
PET is one of the most widely recycled plastics globally, with bottle-to-bottle recycling already an established circular system. However, thermoformed PET packaging, including clamshells, blister packs, and food trays, still lacks adequate recycling infrastructure. Recycling these PET thermoforms is essential for transitioning to a truly circular economy, as worldwide obligations for recycled content may cause a shortfall in the supply of bottle recycles; PET thermoform recycling can ensure a new stream of valuable PET material.
Barriers to recycling PET thermoforms
PET thermoforms are commonly used for consumer goods, electronics, and fresh produce packaging. They offer versatility, clarity, and superior machine compatibility at a low cost. The problem arises when these packages end their life; PET thermoformed trays and clamshells do not easily fit into existing PET recycling streams, as they are contaminated with food, labels, inks, and adhesives. This has led to lower collection and recycling rates, with most thermoforms ending up in landfills.
Emerging advancements in PET thermoform recycling
However, new efforts are emerging to close this loophole. Advanced sorting facilities can now separate PET thermoforms from single-stream collections. Technologies such as Near-Infrared (NIR), Density Separation, Optical Sorting, X-ray scanners, and even AI-powered industrial robot sorting allow proper identification of PET thermoforms for recycling. The next step is reintroducing this recycled PET content into manufacturing supply chains.
Opportunities for companies to embrace circularity
Brands across industries are gradually recognizing the need to incorporate recycled PET from thermoformed packaging into new packaging. Doing so minimizes plastic waste while extending the circularity of PET material beyond PET bottles. Such tray-to-tray recycling was not possible in the past.
Overcoming challenges through collective action
The biggest challenge lies in securing a consistent supply of rPET (tray-to-tray) material at scale. This requires greater adoption of deposit return schemes, partnerships with waste management firms, and consumer awareness regarding the importance of better managing PET tray waste to keep this valuable input resource in the loop. Stakeholders must understand that the long-term environmental benefits outweigh the initial investments.
Realising the circular economy potential
Sourcing rPET from thermoformed packaging distinguishes a company as an environmental steward. It will also future-proof businesses against plastic regulations and taxes more cost-effectively in the long term. By supporting thermoform recycling infrastructure, companies enable the shift towards a circular economy, where plastics retain value instead of spilling into ecosystems.
The technology for thermoform-to-thermoform recycling already exists. What is needed now is a collective effort by brands, manufacturers, and consumers to prioritize these processes. Companies now can lead this change for the health of our planet.
To learn more about closing the loop with PET thermoform recycling, contact AVI Global Plast at +91 022-68559300 or [email protected]. We supply rPET punnets to clients across industries, including fresh produce, which gets collected after delivery, recycled by our partner recyclers, and supplied back to AVI as rPET flakes for new punnets—enabling a circular economy.

Innovative Waste Recycling Technologies: Paving the Way to a Sustainable Future
As global populations continue to rise and consumption patterns evolve, the amount of waste generated has reached unprecedented levels. Waste management is one of the most pressing environmental issues today, and the call for sustainable solutions has never been louder. This is where innovative waste recycling technologies come in, offering groundbreaking ways to repurpose waste, reduce landfill pressure, and mitigate environmental harm. Let's explore some of the latest trends in waste recycling technologies and how they are shaping a more sustainable future.
Advanced Sorting Systems
One of the key steps in recycling is sorting waste materials to ensure they are processed correctly. Traditional methods of waste separation are labor-intensive and prone to error. However, advances in automated sorting technologies have revolutionized this process. Modern recycling facilities use AI-powered robotics and machine learning algorithms to sort materials like plastics, metals, glass, and paper with remarkable precision.
These systems utilize optical sensors, infrared technology, and machine vision to quickly and accurately identify different types of waste. The result? Higher efficiency, reduced contamination, and increased recovery rates, allowing more materials to be effectively recycled.
Plastic-to-Fuel Conversion
The environmental impact of plastic waste is well-known, and recycling plastics has long been a challenge due to their diverse chemical compositions. Fortunately, innovations such as plastic-to-fuel conversion are providing a new solution. This process, known as pyrolysis, heats plastic waste in the absence of oxygen, breaking it down into synthetic fuels like diesel, gasoline, or kerosene.
This technology not only diverts plastic waste from landfills and oceans but also provides an alternative energy source. The potential to transform non-recyclable plastics into usable fuels makes this technology a significant advancement in reducing the global plastic waste crisis.
E-Waste Recycling
With the rise of digital devices, electronic waste (e-waste) is now one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. E-waste contains valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper, as well as hazardous materials such as lead and mercury. Recycling e-waste efficiently requires specialized technologies to safely extract and process these components.
Modern e-waste recycling technologies involve advanced shredding and separation processes, combined with hydrometallurgical techniques to recover precious metals. These innovations help reduce the environmental footprint of electronic devices while recovering valuable materials that can be reused in manufacturing new products.
Biotechnology in Recycling
Biotechnology is playing an increasingly important role in Waste Technology Europe. Scientists are developing bacteria and enzymes that can break down complex materials like plastics and textiles more efficiently. One example is the use of enzymes that degrade PET plastics, a common type of plastic found in water bottles and packaging.
These bio-based recycling solutions are particularly promising because they work at the molecular level, making it easier to recycle materials that were previously difficult or impossible to process. Furthermore, the biodegradable byproducts of these processes pose less risk to the environment compared to traditional chemical treatments.
Circular Economy Initiatives
Many waste recycling technologies are part of a larger movement towards a circular economy, where materials are continuously reused, and waste generation is minimized. The circular economy model encourages manufacturers to design products with recycling in mind, using materials that can be easily disassembled and repurposed at the end of their lifecycle.
In addition to innovative recycling technologies, circular economy initiatives focus on reducing the amount of waste produced in the first place, promoting practices like reusing, repairing, and refurbishing products. Companies and governments alike are adopting these models to create sustainable systems that keep waste out of landfills and oceans.

One such practice is switching from traditional plastic pots to fabric grow bags. Here are some key environmental benefits of using fabric grow bags in your garden:
