After digestion, they will be excreted!! Or does the digestion process eliminate the harmful elements?

Did a thesis on this years back The challenge is to speed the process thus increasing the scale of environmental clean up. Funding for such projects though is a huge problem

Did you know that plastic can be broken down into fuel, it takes about 8 pounds of plastic waste to produce a gallon of gasoline.

Many Kenyans have been stunned by a striking billboard along University Way in Nairobi filled with actual trash. The installation contains nearly two tonnes of plastic waste collected from the city's streets, aiming to highlight the growing plastic pollution crisis and encourage better waste disposal habits.

Scientists in Kenya have discovered a type of insect that can eat plastic, thanks to its gut bacteria. The team observed the lesser mealworm munching on polystyrene, and are now hoping to extract the stomach enzyme responsible for this, to be used on a larger scale.

Governments have failed to agree on a #PlasticsTreaty to #StopPlasticPollution. This is not what communities, scientists, businesses and civil society demanded. Plastic pollution won’t wait, and neither can we. Leaders must choose a new path and deliver on their promise to end the plastic crisis. #INC5_2

The single most impactful step to cut your microplastic exposure: stop heating plastic Just pouring boiling water into a plastic bottle can spike BPA (a hormone-disrupting chemical) by up to 55x Practical tips: • Don't drink hot coffee or tea out of to-go cups (they're lined with plastic) • Limit consumption of hot food from black plastic takeout containers • Use wooden cooking utensils when possible • Never microwave food in plastic containers • Avoid microwaving plastic wrap

5 strategies for limiting exposure to microplastics and their associated chemicals: 1) Avoid drinking from plastic bottles 2) Get a reverse osmosis water filter for your home, if possible 2) Avoid heating plastic (this includes drinking from to-go coffee cups, which have a plastic lining) 4) Don't eat microwave popcorn (the bags are lined with PFAS, "forever chemicals") 5) Avoid consuming acidic foods/condiments stored in plastic packaging (the acidity breaks down plastic). One example: Something like balsamic vinegar in a plastic to-go container.

While the destructive environmental impact of plastic is well known, it poses serious health challenges as well. In the last few weeks alone, there have been a couple of studies that have shown the health impact of microplastics. One study found microplastics in the human placenta. Another study found that micro and nanoplastics in key arteries, leading to an increased risk of heart attack. One of the interesting startups we have partnered with through Rainmatter by Zerodha is Zerocircle. They have developed and are scaling alternatives to bio-plastic. Here's Neha the founder, talking to Hansi explaining what inspired her and how seaweed can potentially help us with our plastic problem.

Advanced recycling turns plastic waste into valuable products—meeting consumer demand and drawing billions in private investment. To unlock its full potential across the energy sector, we need clear, consistent rules and fewer regulatory roadblocks. It’s good for the economy, good for the environment, and solves a serious problem with plastic waste. I’ll keep leading on this issue through my work in Congress and look forward to working with Lee Zeldin on this common sense policy solution.

Cheap plastic shoes have made our lives better in so many ways. While growing up in the Rift Valley, I used to walk to school barefooted. Morning dew would freeze our feet until 10, when the sun was up, then we'd feel our feet. Nowadays even the poorest families can afford these plastic shoes. I will gift my old pair to a neighbor.

California resident visits Florida. She’s at Target and can’t believe you can just get a plastic bag and a plastic straw Not only that, you aren’t charged for the plastic bags In California there is a full state-wide ban on plastic bags and everyone must pay 10 cents for plastic bags to carry their items. Plastic straws are also banned because of ‘the environment’ In Florida there is no statewide ban or fee on plastic bags or straws. You get free plastic bags at stores like Target, and plastic straws are readily available
