Finding viable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics and microplastics has never been more important. New research from scientists at UC San Diego and Algenesis shows that their plant-based polymers biodegrade — even at the microplastic level — in under seven months.
We should never produce any plastic for throwable products, but such a product could be a good start for people who aren’t actively trying to avoid plastic packaging.
Still, we also have to change our wasteful mentality and way of life.
