-Using microorganisms to address microplastic pollution

The challenge to the environment posed by microplastics has received considerable attention and some different solutions have been proposed, as efforts are made to reduce reliance upon plastics.

One solution involves microbes. Petrochemicals Bioplastic Masterbatches

The extent of plastic pollution in the oceans is considerable, and it could be that up to 70 percent of the waste in the world’s oceans is made of plastic.

Such is the extent of plastic pollution, that microplastic has now entered the human food chain. In addition, the chemicals leached out from plastic are having an adverse effect on marine life.
