The Earth Day Network may have an unexpected ally in its quest to solve the global plastic pollution crisis: bacteria. More specifically, an enzyme produced by the Ideonella sakaiensis microbes.

chlooe약 6년That is a lot of plastic... Everybody should always remember to recycle. If you're trying to craft something so you could reuse but it doesn't work out as planned, you could always recycle too! There are many options to choose from if one way doesn't work (Depending on which problem you have).
