You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season.  You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki.  We cannot give any examples because none have been created yet. So, use your imagination and strive for clarity.

A significant environmental problem facing the world entails the accumulation of plastic polymer waste products, both on land and offshore. The ecological, political, and economic repercussions of plastic accumulation have affected populations and industries alike in a significant manner, however, the technological development and profitability of investment in the business of plastic degradation has stunted the growth of such an institution. Our project aims to conduct an in depth analysis of the multitude of factors that would influence an industry centered around plastic degradation. Our collegiate iGEM team is currently engaged in producing an E. Coli that degrades PET plastic and goes further to break down byproducts, and we would similarly like to use this as a model for an economic and business analysis. Likewise, we also aim to generate a set of tools and guidelines that future iGEM teams can use to assess the realistic marketability of their project. We would like this toolkit to be applicable to a wide range of products under the field of synthetic biology, with the intent that teams and groups can take the product of laboratory based biological engineering and critically look at its real world application. In short, we wish to make successful commercial endeavors out of scientific academic work.

Overview


A significant environmental problem facing the world entails the accumulation of plastic polymer waste products, both on land and offshore. The ecological, political, and economic repercussions of plastic accumulation have affected populations and industries alike in a significant manner, however, the technological development and profitability of investment in the business of plastic degradation has stunted the growth of such an institution. Our project aims to conduct an in depth analysis of the multitude of factors that would influence an industry centered around plastic degradation. Our collegiate iGEM team is currently engaged in producing an E. Coli that degrades PET plastic and goes further to break down byproducts, and we would similarly like to use this as a model for an economic and business analysis. Likewise, we also aim to generate a set of tools and guidelines that future iGEM teams can use to assess the realistic marketability of their project. We would like this toolkit to be applicable to a wide range of products under the field of synthetic biology, with the intent that teams and groups can take the product of laboratory based biological engineering and critically look at its real world application. In short, we wish to make successful commercial endeavors out of scientific academic work.
