Recent research has shown that environmental weathering breaks polystyrene into increasingly small particles, including nanoplastics, which may pose greater ecological and biological risks than larger plastic debris.1 As concerns over plastic pollution increase, scientists are turning to microbes, enzymes, insects, and nanotechnology. These tiny technologies could offer new solutions for one of the most persistent waste streams on the planet.
