Biodegradable, Organic Plastic Developed Using Seawater

Everyone agrees that plastic pollution is a serious threat to the global environment, which has many scientists looking for a solution. Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have come up with a potential one with the development of new biodegradeable plastic polymers derived from microorganisms that feed on seawater. A multidisciplinary collaboration between Alexander Golberg of TAU's Porter School of Environmental and Earth Sciences and Michael Gozin of TAU's School of Chemistry has...
