According to Ireland's "New Island Weekly" report, scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew said that fungi may be the key to humans' victory in plastic waste. Kew's first report on the state of the world's fungi states that if it can be used for fungi characteristics With proper development and utilization, plastics can be naturally decomposed in weeks rather than years.
According to reports, Qiu Yuan and a team of more than 100 scientists from 18 countries completed the report, showing how different organisms break down plastics, clean up radioactive materials, and even accelerate the production of biodiesel.
On the 11th, senior scientist Liqi Qiuyuan said: 'This is really exciting, because it is well known that plastic pollution is such a huge environmental challenge. If fungal decomposition can be a viable solution, it would be great. We are at The early stages of the research, but I hope that the benefits of the fungus 'eat' plastics can be studied in 5 to 10 years.'
