The solution (or at least part of it) \u2026 worms: <\/strong>Mealworms are able to digest and break down certain types of plastic components such as polystyrene and polyethylene while wax worms can degrade wax, according to Anja Brandon, a researcher at Stanford University. Mealworms get energy from breaking down the plastic components and eject the remaining chemicals, making them further useful in the feed industry where they are eaten by pigs and livestock. Brandon is trying to isolate the bacteria in mealworms\u2019 stomachs that degrade plastics to scale them into bioreactors that can be used industrially, she explains in CNN\u2019s Call to Earth (watch: runtime: 03:02<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
