Biodegradable plastics offer great benefits for reducing microplastic pollution

There are definitely alternatives to conventional microplastics that can be considered ‘good’ under the right conditions. Biodegradable plastics offer great benefits for reducing microplastic pollution, but their effectiveness depends on proper handling, specific uses and having the infrastructure for degradation in place.

With continued research and innovation, ‘good’ microplastics have the potential to play an important role in the transition to a more sustainable future.
