NASA-Backed Scientists Turn Plastic Waste Into Edible Protein Cookies
Researchers supported by NASA are developing a method to convert plastic bottles and agricultural waste into edible proteins and vitamins. The process relies on genetically engineered yeast that breaks down these materials into consumable food components. The resulting product, called microbites, is formed into small cookie-shaped portions. Beyond space travel, the project aims to tackle global food scarcity and plastic pollution simultaneously. Scientists expect the technology could be ready for widespread use within the next few years.
