Finding viable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics and microplastics has never been more important. New research from scientists at UC San Diego and Algenesis shows that their plant-based polymers biodegrade — even at the microplastic level — in under seven months.

      How about no?

      I’m not really sure what you’re suggesting. This is apparently plant based so I don’t really see the harm. We should definitely clean up what we have already but not sure what’s wrong with trying to find an alternative to avoid dumping anymore microplastics
