Scientists Find Plastic-Eating Fungus Feasting on Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Not really good news for the plastic that isnt waste. Plastic pipes or structures in buildings that were meant to last decades we dont want eaten away by fungus
Still it’s a positive net balance for the planet if it happens this way. But I think the “plastic safety” (in a food sense) would also end?
“The planet” doesn’t have interests so everything is neutral to the planet
Hate to break it to you, but if you store your food for years above freezing and without a protective atmosphere in a plastic container it’s spoiled anyway.
To say nothing of how much cabling is covered by plastic.
