PLASTICS - Scientists break down plastics with bacteria


Through an accidental discovery, two high-school seniors from Vancouver may have found a revolutionary answer to the problem of plastic pollution. Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao discovered a certain strain of bacteria has the ability to quickly biodegrade phthalates -- a major cause of water pollution from plastic. The duo presented their research findings at TED Active in Long Beach, using a Prezi-powered presentation.
Fast Company caught wind of Miranda and Jeanny’s discovery, penning this story about Prezi and TED, and how Miranda and Jeanny collaborated with our design team to present complex scientific data in a simple, yet highly informative presentation.
