Bacteria are the most incredible creatures on Earth, says biotechnologist and TED Fellow Patricia Aymà Maldonado. She presents a groundbreaking technology that “trains” bacteria to transform organic waste into biodegradable plastic that behaves like the real thing. Learn how this creative, sustainable approach could revolutionize the plastics industry.

Segment 1 (00:00 - 01:00)

How you try to avoid single-use plastics, no matter how you separate properly at your home, it will never be enough. A company puts a plastic product and the customer has to take care of the planet. I need that plastic. You are not giving me another solution. In 2018, I founded the company. We are producing a biodealable bioplastic with bacteria that eat organic waste. I think that plastic isn't a problem itself. is how we produce it, how we use it and how we dispose of it. We work with agri food companies for example a beer production company and they give to us the leftover of the span yeast from the ver production. Right now we already treating three tons of spen yeast in a day. We take 300 g of ben yeast to produce 1 kilo of our bioplastic and this is bioplastic by the way produced with bacteria and organic waste. It means that it can melt, it can flow, you just can make the same products as petrol-based plastics. Right now, this bioplastic is already working in luxury like the param, the cosmetics, healthcare, whatever you can imagine with a plastic that behaves as a petrol-based plastic. If you throw the plastic away then we can expect that bioplastic gets to the marine environment and maybe in four months it can biodegrade in 90% depending on the wife that the bioplastic has. You cannot make microplastics with bioplastics. It is organic. It breaks naturally in small compounds and is food for other bacteria for other microorganisms. Having our plan already functioning, working with three tons of organic waste a day, transforming this into bioplastic, it put us in the first line of this marathon, this global marathon. This is a new way, a new alternative to take care of the planet.
