Are #biodegradable paper cups an example of a regretable substitution? Single-use take-away cups of paper are as #toxic to aquatic midge larvae as #plasticpollution cups. A reminder that *re-use* is always best! Great work by @BCarneyAlmroth and colleagues.

Researchers in Michigan are saying they've found a way to make bioplastic PLA more compostable. (Apparently the secret is starch.)

Good news if true... we need biodegradable alternatives for items that absolutely must be made from some sort of "plastic." We also need to realize that we can easily (and happily!) make do with a LOT less "stuff" in our lives.

Experience over things!

Pollution by plastic is a major environmental issue. Now a new form of biodegradable plastic has been developed that degrades on a similar timescale as banana skins. The plastic is made of pressed spirulina powder (from blue-green algae). See http://www.neat-news.com/2023/07/192.php. #biodegradable #plastic

While this is admirable. Please keep in minds the problem with plastics will continue because its manufactured. Getting rid of plastic cups, straws and bags is so you ignore the that the grocery store, the drugstores are filled with plastic. Single use plastics is just scratching the surface of the bigger problem.

I recently read an article that Maine (and other places) are being overrun by green crabs. Tasty, but only immediately after molting. Then the shell is too hard.

That’s besides the point, it’s the chitin in their shells, mixed with Zinc and it becomes a battery! When disposed it biodegrades in months!

Those #biodegradable #plastic bags? They’re probably no better than oil-based plastic for reducing #microplastic #pollution.

Quote: “…biodegradable plastics may be as toxic as conventional fossil fuel-based plastics and contain similar types and amounts of chemicals of concern… biodegradable plastics are reported to only break down in industrial or controlled composting conditions, and persist in marine environments for many years with close to no biodegradation.”
