Interesting article..... Scientists have figured out way to make algae-based plastic that completely decomposes
Basically, these researchers/producers have succeeded in making various plastic items from a base of algea. These break down at a very good clip (i.e. less than 7 months to be almost completely gone, and not even microplastic particles left in the environment).
Now, they just need start-up funds to build algae farms.
Time to invest!!

This is a sneaker, tossed into water and biodegrading for a couple of months. Cool!!
"The study shows that their plant-based polymers can biodegrade past the microplastic level in under seven months.
Examination of samples after 90 days of aerobic composting showed a 68% decrease in the number of particles.
After 200 days, a 97% overall reduction from the starting count was observed, according to the paper."
