Nature research paper: Enzyme-embedded polyesters for accelerated biodegradation in the deep sea go.nature.com/4id5k0a

go.nature.comEnzyme-embedded polyesters for accelerated biodegradation in the deep sea - NatureNear-complete deep-sea degradation of enzyme-embedded compostable polyesters shows that thermal enzyme embedding greatly accelerates breakdown across marine environments while preserving material performance, offering a promising strategy to mitigate persistent ocean plastic pollution.

Nature now builds its own microscopic cleanup crew. Adding digestive enzymes directly into the plastic matrix means deep-sea pollutants could self-destruct in months instead of millennia!
