An enzyme that breaks down plastics faster will not completely solve our plastic pollution problem
About this episode
A new enzyme that can break down plastics in a matter of days and not centuries is giving people hope that we can still use plastics and not have to worry about the reduction, but the solution will only take care of a small percentage of plastic pollution. Therefore, we need to continue the pursuit of reducing our single-use plastics.
In this episode, I will discuss why we need to stay the course in reducing our plastic dependence.
