Eau de fatberg? Scientists are turning sewer masses into PERFUMES

65% Informative
Fatbergs are vast blobs of wet wipes, used condoms, plastic bags, and grease held together by a congealed mass of fat and grease.
Chunks of the fatberg are fed to specially engineered bacteria that have been genetically programmed to eat sewer waste.
Bacteria produce a chemical called pinene which is normally found in pine needles.
Over time, these bacteria break down fatberg into a valuable chemical used in the perfume industry.
