biodegradable plasticsBGR
•71% Informative
Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers created plastic products containing bacteria spores that would eventually destroy the plastic.
Bacteria are dormant in spore form, and that’s how they can survive the harshest environmental conditions.
When the material needs to be disposed of, the bacteria can be activated, so they wake up and start consuming the plastic when it's disposed of.
The researchers also looked at mixing the plastic-eating spores with other plastics.
