Engineered marine microbes (vibrio natriegens) are fed pure formic acid as their sole source of carbon. The microbes metabolise the acid to produce succinic acid, which is then used as a precursor to synthesise biodegradable plastics.
Ocean carbon in, biodegradable plastic out
Not-so-fun fact: our oceans hold 150 times more carbon dioxide than the Earth's atmosphere. Adding to that causes ocean acidification, which can disrupt marine food chains and reduce biodiversity.
