Scientists Create Biodegradable Plastic to Fight Microplastics

Scientists in Japan have made a new kind of plastic that is strong, bendy, and can break down naturally.

This plastic is made from plants and is safe for the environment.

It can be as hard as glass or as stretchy as rubber, and it can be very thin.

The scientists used special ingredients, like a type of salt, to make the plastic just right.

This new plastic could help solve the problem of tiny plastic pieces, called microplastics, that are harmful to our health and the environment.

The researchers hope to make this plastic available for use soon.
