Biodegradable plastics research. Researcher drawing gas from a test tube for analysis. The results will help determine the best conditions for bacteria to consume gas and synthesise polymers, the basis for plastics. This is part of a project aiming to bring the cost of biodegradable plastic down to practical levels. Photographed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Colorado, USA.
