Turning plastic waste into useful medicines? It sounds far fetched but here it is… in the @bmj.com, reported by Jacqui Wise. Link: www.bmj.com/content/392/... #Recycling #PharmacySky #MedSky
Article on plastic waste. Excerpt here;

YAWN, NOT MORE ON RECYCLING?
Not this time. This is how plastic bottle waste has been used to make levodopa, a main treatment for Parkinson's disease.
Scientists at Edinburgh University genetically engineered E coli bacteria to help transform polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) into the drug.
WASTE NOT, WANT NOT
Quite. PET, which is used widely in food and drink packaging, is first broken down into building blocks of terephthalic acid The bacteria transform these into levodopa through a series of biological reactions.
SOUNDS LIKE A WIN-WIN?
The charity Parkinson's UK says that around 166 000 people have the disease.
Those with the condition don't produce enough dopamine because some nerve cells have stopped working. There is no cure, but levodopa can top up dopamine levels, which can improve movement.

Bah! I often commute from Ben Rhydding to Frizinghall. Did not think advance tickets were available on the line (never an option). Turns out buying the ticket either onto Bradford Forster Square, or alternatively, from Ilkley station, gives advance fares saving > 50%. Bloody Northern Rail!
