The Solution to Microplastics | Newlight

Plastics are extremely useful - they’re lightweight, low-cost, and high-performance.
But there are two big problems: a lot of carbon is emitted and it breaks down into small pieces that are hazardous to our health.
Newlight has built an alternative from nature - a biodegradable replica using captured greenhouse gases.

This is awesome! I’ve been doing a lot of research on microplastics and honestly since I didn’t know much about them it sounded so hopeless. I’m glad to know there are solutions like this being worked on.

We need every tool now that capitalists have delayed for generations on climate action.
