Plastic can be produced in different ways and some ways result in more problematic forms than others. For instance, there is the question whether Bisphenol A (BPA) may cause health problems. Another problem is with the biodegradability of huge amounts of plastic. In a new approach, plastic is produced from sugar and CO2, and can be decomposed by enzymes back into these components.
