Common plastic products contain various toxins Plastic waste continues to accumulate across the […]

(Natural News) Consumer waste like plastics pose a huge threat to marine life for various reasons. Apart from their durability and slow biodegradability, plastics also contain and attract toxic contaminants that can accumulate inside aquatic animals if they’re ingested. Over the past few decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm on the increasing amount of plastics found polluting the world’s oceans. […]

(Natural News) Plastics are everywhere – in food packaging, everyday items you use and even in personal hygiene products. But according to the shocking results of a study, there are also plastics inside your body. These findings, which were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, showed that people ingest at least 50,000 microplastics annually. Despite the various […]

(Natural News) When it comes to pollution, not even the smallest organism is safe from its effects. Researchers from various institutions in Australia and Denmark revealed that plastic in the ocean inhibits the growth and oxygen production of photosynthetic marine bacteria. These bacteria are believed to be responsible for up to 10 percent of the oxygen […]

(Natural News) Single-use plastics cause plastic pollution, a problem that affects rivers, lakes, and oceans. To address this concern, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a recycling process that turns various materials made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into other useful products that will last longer. NREL’s research was published in the journal Joule. […]
