It will take several lifetimes for all of earth’s plastic waste to decompose, when not accounting for new plastics being produced every day. Nanites that can decompose plastics can help save us from this impending doom! https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution
The use of plastics has many benefits – it is affordable, versatile, resistant, and can help reduce other forms of waste – especially food waste. However, when poorly managed it can pollute the environment and our oceans.
Where does the plastic in our oceans come from and what can we do to reduc... Read more
