Microplastic is increasingly polluting our environment, coming into contact with bees and other insects. When bees ingest these plastic particles, they damage their organs and change their behaviour, which in
Spanish researchers created a new protein capable of degrading PET microplastics, according to a study published in Nature Catalytics. We produce around 400 million tons of plastic worldwide every year.
A project to disseminate information about the dangers of single-use plastic has organised a model sailing boat — named Flipflopi — to travel across the globe to reach thousands of
