**Scientists Turn Plastic Waste Into Protein-Rich Cookies**
By American Chemical Society - Published on 19 September 2026
Specialized microbes convert inedible materials into protein-rich snacks. A cookie made partly from molecules derived from plastic waste sounds more like a warning than a food experiment. But researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale are using engineered yeast to transform components of discarded plastic and agricultural waste into proteins, vitamins, fats, flavorings, and other ingredients [...]
