  3. Intro • NSW is archived at: http://staffwww.fullcoll.edu/bcordell/NSW.htm • Division Activities Page is at: http://staffwww.fullcoll.edu/bcordell/DivActivs.htm • Solving the Wastepaper Problem: The global wastepaper glut--caused by insufficient moisture in the world’s landfills to break the paper down--could be solved with a genetically modified form of cellulosome under development at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science. Cellulosome is a molecular complex that degrades cellulose, a major component of wood and other plants. In the laboratory, the modified cellulosome took only a day to turn finely chopped paper into a syrup of soluble sugars. Although the designer molecules are not yet ready to be applied to actual landfills, the process offers hope for a solution to a growing problem.
