Plastic bottles have increasingly become a worldwide problem, and there are now nearly 50 million tons of plastic waste in the world every year, which has led to serious economic and environmental impacts. At present, plastics are treated in a relatively simple way such as processing landfills, but this can still lead to plastic pollution.
The plastic we drink is generally thrown away as waste, but now with this new technology, it can be processed and added to desserts such as coffee, cake, ice cream to make a charming flavor, can you believe it?!!
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom are developing terephthalic acid in PET plastic bottles into vanillin, which is the source of the vanilla flavor we usually like.
In other words, a plastic bottle I usually use can be made into vanilla spices, and the vanilla-flavored ice cream and cake you will eat later may be made of plastic bottles in your hand!!!

The University of Edinburgh's approach to microbial treatment at the molecular level can greatly improve sustainability and achieve true recyclability. You drink the drink bottle, make your favorite vanilla ice cream, love the earth and love the perfect combination of food!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > plastic can also be eaten, isn't it scary? </h1>
Vanillain, in addition to being extracted from natural vanilla pods, can also be synthesized by chemical means, and a large part of the vanilla flavor is already chemically synthesized, and natural vanilla is very expensive.
Therefore, the plastic bottle extracts vanillin through microorganisms, which is completely without problems, and there is no need to worry at all!
