What if the bacteria in our sewage could eat plastic waste? US researchers have discovered a special enzyme in wastewater microbes that can literally digest PET plastic — the same plastic found in water bottles and food packaging. This enzyme breaks down plastic into harmless building blocks, turning trash into useful raw materials. In the future, sewage treatment plants could be upgraded to not only clean water but also eliminate plastic waste. For India, where plastic pollution clogs rivers, drains, and streets, this tech could offer a low-cost, eco-friendly solution. In this episode, learn how these "plastic-eating bugs" work, and how this innovation can transform city waste management.

What if factory smoke could be turned into petrol for your car? A company named SpiralWave has created a plasma-based device that does just that. Their "plasma tower" zaps carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions with high-energy microwaves, breaking the CO₂ molecules apart and recombining them with water to create methanol – a liquid fuel. This isn't science fiction; it’s a chemical process made efficient with advanced plasma physics. For India, where industrial pollution is a major concern, this technology could convert harmful emissions from factories into usable fuel, reducing air pollution and providing an alternative energy source. In this episode, learn how this plasma tech works, and how it can turn smoke into clean fuel for vehicles and power plants.
