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.
I’m not really sure what you’re suggesting. This is apparently plant based so I don’t really see the harm. We should definitely clean up what we have already but not sure what’s wrong with trying to find an alternative to avoid dumping anymore microplastics
Why even use it when not using anything like that does the trick as well?
As much as I would love that, companies won’t do it unless there’s a cost efficient, easy alternative.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, etc
It was recently made mostly illegal in eu. Just saying. Most things work without as well, those that don’t can use alternatives.
