Plant-based plastic releases nine times less microplastics than conventional plastic. New research has looked at how two different types of plastic break down when tested in extreme conditions.
A newly developed plant-based plastic material releases nine times less microplastics than conventional plastic when exposed to sunlight and seawater, a new study has found.
The research, led by experts from the University of Portsmouth and the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), in Belgium, looked at how two different types of plastic break down when tested in extreme conditions.
