At Michigan Tech,
researchers turn plastic
into protein powder.
Of all the world’s problems, faculty researcher Stephen
Techtmann has two on his mind: plastic pollution and
world hunger. Can one problem help solve the other?
In his award-winning microbiology lab at Michigan Tech,
Techtmann and his team of student researchers feed the
plastics to oil-eating bacteria that chew them up and use
them as fuel to grow. The end result doesn’t look like
plastic at all—it resembles a yeast byproduct that comes
from brewing beer. This majority-protein byproduct is
then dried out and turned into an edible powder. While
the initial goal is to use the protein powder for disaster
relief efforts, Techtmann hopes that plastic-turned-
protein-powder could become the sustainable meat
substitute of tomorrow.
