Scientists in Japan Develop Non-Toxic Plastic That Dissolves in Seawater Within Hours

By Andy Corbley

"Japanese scientists were thrilled to receive significant interest from the packaging industry over their new seawater-degradable plastic.
Breaking apart into nutritious compounds for ocean-borne bacteria in just 2 to 3 hours depending on the size and thickness, the invention could be a major solution to reducing plastic waste in the environment."

"The plastic is non-toxic, non-flammable, and doesn’t emit CO2. It wont leach chemicals and microplastics into one’s body as is the case with normal plastic water bottles, packaging, take-away containers, and so on.
Additionally, because there are small amounts of sodium in most of the world’s soils, the plastic will breakdown in a matter of weeks if buried."
