🧪🌊 Scientists in #Japan have developed a new plant-based plastic that does what others can't: it completely dissolves in seawater in just a few hours.

By using cellulose and food-safe salts, the team created a material that stays strong while you use it, but falls apart at the molecular level if it reaches the #ocean – leaving zero #microplastics behind.

You cannot clean up a flood without TURNING OFF THE TAP.

Governments must deliver a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that CUTS PLASTIC PRODUCTION at the source and makes polluters pay.

Every delay means more plastic in our lungs, food and water.

“Studies have identified some of the main sources of #microplastics as:

- cosmetic cleansers
- synthetic textiles
- vehicle tyres
- plastic-coated fertilisers
- plastic film used as mulch in agriculture
- fishing rope and netting
- "crumb rubber infill" used in artificial turf
- plastics recycling.”

7,000 Microplastics Studies Show We Have One Really Big Problem : ScienceAlert

It's been 20 years since a paper in the journal Science showed the environmental accumulation of tiny plastic fragments and fibres.

University of New Mexico #scientist is revealing what might be one of the most overlooked causes of #dementia — damage in the #brain tiny #bloodvessels. Dr. Elaine Bearer has created a new way to classify these changes, showing that many people diagnosed with #Alzheimers also suffer from #vascular damage that quietly destroys #brain tissue. Even more surprising, she’s finding #microplastics inside the brain that appear linked to #inflammation & #memory loss. sciencedaily.com/releases/2025… #healthcare
