ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bioproducts engineering

Bioproducts engineering is like being a chef but instead of making food, we make things that are good for the environment.

We use special machines and tools to turn natural resources like plants, crops, and even bacteria into things that we can use every day.

For example, we can take leftover corn stalks and turn them into eco-friendly plastics. We can also use bacteria to make enzymes that can break down harmful chemicals in the environment.

Bioproducts engineers study how to make these things in a safe and efficient way. They make sure that their creations are good for the earth and can help us live in a more sustainable way.
