Scientists make edible cookies for astronauts from recycled plastic
Scientists have succeeded in improving the taste and smell of 3D-printed cookies made from PET bottle plastic. This research is part of a competition organized by the space agency NASA. The goal is to find innovative ways to recycle plastic waste into edible food for astronauts during space missions. The project demonstrates progress in making recycled materials more palatable and suitable for human consumption in space. The results could contribute to sustainable food solutions for long-duration space travel.
