Paragraph 2
The new,
plastic has polyester-eating
inside it. When these enzymes are exposed to heat and water, they eat away at the
and turn it into
for the soil. Professor Ting Xu said up to 98 per cent of the plastic her team made degraded into
particles. She said: "We are
saying that we are on the right
. We can solve this continuing problem of single-
plastics." She added: "Look at all the wasted stuff we throw away - clothing, shoes,
....We are taking things from the earth at a faster
than we can return them."
