Summary
Researchers developed a uniformly crosslinked algal bioplastic designed to decompose on demand when exposed to salt water, presenting this material as a strategy to reduce marine plastic pollution and limit microplastic formation in ocean environments.
Developing more degradable plastics is key to reducing marine pollution and microplastic-related ecological harm.
