Obviously, live foods are the truly perfect nutritional source for your tropical fish, but are you aware of some of these other reasons The mushroom can also grow without oxygen - so could hypothetically spore at the bottom of landfill sites.There are manyimportant reasons to choose Live Blackworms for your fish instead of frozen and machine prepared 'fast' foods. The fungi consumes polyurethane (a main ingredient in plastic products) breaking it down and converting it into organic matter. In 2012, students from Yale University discovered a rare species of mushroom - the Pestalotiopsis microspora - that can ‘eat’ plastic. The group are always looking to start chapters in new countries. When the ‘brick’ is full, it can be dropped off at a local Ecobrick Exchanges in England, US, and Wales - and used to make everything from furniture to garden walls.

You don’t need a PhD in biochemistry to build an ‘eco brick.’ Last year, the ‘eco-brick’ trend - which involves filling plastic bottles with non-recyclable plastic and sending them off to be used in construction - went viral on TikTok. Given that people use more than 37,000 tonnes of vanilin per year, it’s a significant breakthrough - and proves that recycled plastic could find new life on the industrial chemical market. Plastic bottles can be converted into vanilla flavouring using heated bacteria, a 2021 study reveals.īy adding E.coli to plastic, scientists could make vanillin, a compound found in vanilla beans. Scientists have successfully formed this gel into cups and plates - just maybe don’t think about where the crockery came from when you’re eating off it. The researchers isolated two short strands of DNA from the sperm, binding them together with a chemical from vegetable oil.įrom here the gel was moulded into different shapes and freeze-dried to remove the moisture, which makes it solidify. It might sound slightly fishy, but Chinese scientists have constructed an eco-friendly plastic from salmon sperm.
