I heard current research is going on to make corn based plastics to make water bottles. While this might be a decent step forward, we all know there is an enormous amount of plastic debris out there in trash, landfills and I heard in the oceans! Does anyone know if a way has been found to disintegrate these into lower organic compounds. Even though plastics are organic compounds I understand they are very complex compounds and so far no chemical/ other agent has been found that will degrade these.
Of late, I see a lot of people rightfully are realizing that the earth needs to be treated better. But how are humans going to get rid of the plastic debris they have thrown onto the earth so far????
