Did You Know

How can something as small as a worm help in solving the plastic pollution problem? Listen now to find out how early worms could help reduce plastic pollution..

Plastic can be great. It’s durable, flexible, and used in everything from medical equipment to floss, to the cup my coffee comes in. But, unfortunately, most plastics either don’t or take a very long time to breakdown. Most plastics are made from processes like heating up petroleum, this rearranges the molecules so it becomes polypropylene, forged together by strong carbon-carbon bonds. These strong bonds are hard to break apart, and because it takes a lot of energy to make molecules like polypropylene, nature doesn’t break them down by itself.
