Neural network finds an enzyme that can break down polyurethane

You'll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it's multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of which is held together by a distinct type of chemical bond. So the method we use to break down one type of polymer may be incompatible with the chemistry of another.
