Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours

Now make bikinis from this material!

later @PoloBoiBoi seeks for justice & fairness to include swimming trunks too

This material can last for only 1 day in sea water, if use to hold soup or salty food, it will disintegrate and left the food open to air within 1 day. So probably will be good to make disposible items like straws, fork, spoons, plates, cups and condoms

Huh? You don't want to be eating this kind of material into your body.. high chance will leak once contact with water..

Dunno if food safe or not but this material is only suitable for disposible items

 

[buttbERry]

[W1n7f1r3]

Can't imagine how safe it is containing your food

Not commercialized yet

 

[zoossh]

can use to make condom... once inside feel nothing

If u can last for hours, that is

 

[W1n7f1r3]

will this be more harmful?

The material is non toxic

 

[tanahgu]

that means even more microplastics in the ocean

 

[buttbERry]

The material is non toxic

then not too bad leh

 

[Vincentlow82]

Finally, the end of plastic is here.

Now we welcome new material!

Later the plastic dissolve into another problem that is mix into sea water. Ultra micro plastic.

The material is non toxic

i dont really believe

 

[Hyruga]

Dissolve liao doesn't mean it's safe. Maybe clogged in your body.

Plastics bags costing 1 dollar each. U want?

 

[plexxor]

Guys get ready to pay $2 for biodegradable bag or container

 

[W1n7f1r3]

i dont really believe

No doubt but subjected to toxicity lvl studies if really serves it's potential

 

[rachoon]

did they use snails to make this plastic?!?

 

[Kac2009]

Imagine someone made a boat using this and gifted to someone

 

[kmkimlo]

Alchemy.. in a way probably just change form. got any residue or able to detect thing related to it in the water?

 

[Dopod007]

Pls make ladies clothes and undergarments with this eco friendly plastic material and I sure go out jalan jalan on rainy days...

 

[archkiller]

The scientist will disappear the next day
