Scientists may have developed fully saltwater degradable plastic made from plant cellulose. Unlike other “biodegradable” plastics, this quickly degrades in salt water without leaving any microplastics

The perfect plastic? Plant-based, fully saltwater degradable, zero microplastics

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem. They report a new plant-based plastic made from ...
