The ongoing battle with plastic

AI Briefing

• – Scientists are exploring the use of microbes like bacteria and fungi to degrade plastics, but their effectiveness is still being studied.
• – Some bacteria can break down certain types of plastic, but it's a slow process and not a solution for the massive amounts of plastic waste in the environment.
• – Researchers are also exploring other methods, such as using enzymes to break down plastics, but more research is needed to make these technologies viable and scalable.
