Japanese Scientists Create Plastic That Fully Decomposes in Seawater

November 28, 2024

Scientists from Japan have created a plastic that fully decomposes in seawater. The material is made from polymers with a unique structure that allows it to easily break down in salty water, turning into nutrients. The plastic is safe - it does not burn and does not release toxic substances. Scientists note that such plastic is stronger than regular plastic, inexpensive to produce, and the technology to create it is simple.
