Role of GMOs in environmental management Another application of GMOs is in the management of environmental issues. For example, some bacteria can produce biodegradable plastics, and the transfer of this ability to microbes that can be easily grown in the laboratory may enable the wide-scale “greening” of the plastics industry. Zeneca, a British company, developed a microbially produced biodegradable plastic called Biopol. This plastic is made using a GM bacterium, Ralstonia eutropha, to convert glucose and a variety of organic acids into a flexible polymer. GMOs endowed with the bacterially encoded ability to metabolize oil and heavy metals may provide efficient bioremediation strategies. ...who benefits by shutting down research?
