The world’s first food made from plastic waste - according to its developer - is vanilla ice cream.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh figured out a way to harness bacteria, as well as enzymes to behave as eco-friendly factories that break down plastic into digestible material.

However, the scientists involved made sure to emphasize that the ice cream is still a research project and not yet ready for human consumption.

The ice cream is actually an art installation, called ‘Guilty Flavours’ by artist and designer Eleanora Ortolani, 27, intended to challenge the way we think about plastic waste and what we are - and are not - prepared to eat.
