2. Bioconversion of PET in Trichoderma sp as a heterologous expression system for the reduction of microplastics

This project seeks to genetically modify the fungus Trichoderma spp. to give it the ability to synthesize the MHETase and PETase enzymes that are necessary for the degradation of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET Plastic).

3. Implementation of reinforcing technique with biodegradable character from low-density polyethylene and plant remains

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) takes from 100 to 400 years to degrade, it is also the third most produced plastic with a demand of 17.5% according to (PEMRG) and (GmbHt). The degradation of polymers is a complex process that can be initiated in multiple ways. In this project, an implementation is proposed that reduces the amount of LDPE in the environment and at the same time makes it more biodegradable.

10. Gray water treatment through biofiltration

This project is focused on making a biofilter with ground coconut husk that allows the retention of pollutants, parasites and pathogenic microorganisms from the water coming from sanitary discharges. The water is treated with the shell to obtain clean water that can be used for irrigation of green areas, agriculture and toilets.

14. Museum: Ambassadors of nature in action (EdeNA)

We are working on making people aware of the pollution that today is mainly generated by single-use items, focusing this issue on the oceans. At the same time, a museum of marine specimens that will be collected from fishing cooperatives or organisms that have perished due to natural causes will be made, as well as collections of other marine animals.
