Upcycling plastic into painkillers: Microbes transform everyday waste into acetaminophen
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) production could be revolutionized by the discovery that a common bacterium can turn everyday plastic waste into the painkiller. The new method leaves virtually no carbon emissions and is more sustainable than the current production of the medicine, researchers say.
