- Japanese scientists have developed a new type of plastic that dissolves quickly in seawater, leaving no harmful residue.
- The new material leaves behind nitrogen and phosphorus, which microbes can metabolise and plants can absorb.
- It is non-toxic for humans and has fire-resistant capabilities and does not release carbon dioxide.
- While these elements can enrich soil, they could also overload coastal ecosystems with nutrients.
