How bacteria in the UK are helping solve plastic pollution

What if nature had its own way of healing the damage we’ve done?

In a hopeful discovery, UK scientists found lake bacteria that thrive by breaking down plastic pollution in the water.

These microbes are converting microplastic particles into usable energy, effectively turning a global problem into an unexpected solution.

But there’s more to the story than just bacteria. From fungi in Germany to engineered microbes in Canada and dissolvable plastics in Japan, a worldwide movement is emerging that blends innovation with biology.

This heartening discovery offers a glimpse into a future where nature works with us to clean our environment.

However, the message remains clear: prevention still matters most.

Dive into this uplifting and thoroughly researched feature that explores how tiny organisms may be leading the charge in one of the most inspiring environmental stories of our time.
