Safe project design

Our goal of the project is to alleviate and solve the global plastic pollution problem by increasing the PET degradation rate using our dual-enzyme system. Our two enzymes, PETase and MHETase, existing in the forms of chimeric protein or enzyme cocktail would digest PET plastic into its constituting monomers, which can be foreseen as a solution to the global plastic pollution crisis in the future.
