Podcast
What’s up with plastics?
Amazingly enough, there are bacteria that eat CO2 and turn it into alcohol. This is used to make cleaning agents and PET bottles.
In this episode, we visit the Mibelle Group, where shampoo and detergent bottles are produced from recycled CO2. Three years after our first episode, “Plastic, your friend and helper”, we look back at what has improved over the last three years. Why are cucumbers sometimes still packed in plastic, whereas party plates have switched to organic materials?
The podcast is only available in German.
