Astronauts Could Eat Cookies Made From Plastic Waste | WION Podcast

Scientists are exploring an extraordinary way to turn plastic waste into food that could one day feed astronauts on deep space missions. Engineered yeast can process components from plastic and agricultural waste into proteins, fats and acids that are combined with other ingredients and printed into cookies. Developed through research linked to NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge, the experimental micro bites could offer a new approach to both waste recycling and future space nutrition. The technology remains expensive and researchers are still awaiting approval before tasting the cookies themselves. But on long journeys to destinations such as Mars, turning waste into food could become a powerful survival tool.
