Researchers in Japan have created a new biodegradable plastic that breaks down in seawater.

It's hoped that the material will one day replace existing single-use plastics, which take centuries to break down.

This non-toxic plastic alternative is made of ionic monomers - large organic molecules - linked together by reversible salt bonds.
