South Korean researchers have successfully engineered microbes to convert biodiesel production waste into raw materials for plastics and textiles, demonstrating the technology in a 79-gallon trial. The breakthrough, developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Hanwha Solutions, could reduce the petrochemical industry's dependence on petroleum-based naphtha amid volatile
