Japanese scientists have developed a very unique and revolutionary plastic that completely dissolves in the sea water in a few hours. This research is considered a great achievement towards solving plastic problems. The city’s researchers near Tokyo, Kaako’s researchers performed this plastic in the laboratory, where a small piece of salts were completely disappeared within an hour after putting in saline water.
This plastic Riken is shared jointly by science of center for emergency material science and Tokyo. This new substance is a special point that it disappears many times faster than the traditional biodagable plastic and there is no poisonous waste.
The packaging industry will benefit
However, no authorized announcement has been made on this plastic commercial use, but according to the main scientist Takizo Ida, many areas, including Takizo Ida, has shown great interest in this technology. The plastic pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today.
According to the UN Environment Program (UNEP), from 2040, each year can reach 23 to 37 million metric tonnes of plastic oceans each year. With this in mind, the scientists worldwide are trying to find new solutions to deal with this crisis. This research of Japanese has been designed in this direction.
Effective in saline water
Takuzo Ida shows that this new content is strong as traditional petroleum-based plastic, but when it is found in saline water, it is broken into its default chemical parts. Later, these environments are completely destroyed by the natural bacteria that elimates the possibility of becoming microplastic.
Ida also said that because salt is also present in the soil, so it also begins to break itself within about 200 hours. Not so, it is completely non-poisonous, non-combatant and when it is burned or burned it is burned or burned.
This new content behaves like conventional plastic, especially when used with coating. At present, scientists are trying to find out what the best way to coat can be the best way to coat.
