Researchers are developing 'living plastics' that can be programmed to break down on command, addressing the persistent issue of plastic waste.
Traditional plastics are known for their durability, often remaining in the environment for many years. This new innovation aims to counteract that longevity.
Potential uses for these self-destructing materials include single-use products, which could significantly reduce their environmental impact.
