“This study is another milestone discovery for the research on biodegradation of plastics,” says Wei-Min Wu, an environmental engineer at Stanford University. They discovered that a common insect can chew sizable holes in a plastic shopping bag within 40 minutes. But a team of European scientists may have found a unique solution to the plastic problem. Each year, the world produces 300 million tons of plastic, much of which resists degradation and ends up polluting every corner of the globe.
