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.
Did you actually read that? The process is wasteful and not something easily implemented. Even if it was done by the utility, the water would pass through many plastic bits before reaching the homes… IDK it doesn’t seem very usrful
