Ryan Smith is co-founder and chief technical officer of Micromidas, Inc., a biotech company that uses an innovative microbial process to convert raw sewage into high-quality plastics. A non-petroleum plastic made from organic waste that completely degrades in six months to a year? What’s not to love?

This is fascinating. I’ve shared it with my science teacher friends. I’m curious as to what the waste products of this process are. Are we creating another problem while solving a different one? This seems like such a powerful idea that I can see a plant in each state. But, it would certainly depend upon the kinds of waste materials that arise from this process. Thanks for sharing this very impressive talk.
