Scientists in China have created a biodegradable sponge made of cotton and squid bones.

They say it can almost completely remove tiny plastic particles from water sources.

The sponge uses the chitin from squid bones and cellulose from cotton, which are both organic compounds known for eliminating pollution from wastewater.

Previous similar microplastic filtration systems were found to be successful but could not be scaled up.
