As the world’s population continues to increase, so does the quantity of plastic that people produce.
Even though plastic is a useful material, it is composed of toxic compounds that can cause illnesses, and it is not biodegradable.
Plastic pollution or the accumulation of plastic objects in the environment have adverse effects on animals, wildlife habitat, natural environment, and also humans.
That is why a chemical engineer from Israel decided to find a solution to reduce the amount of plastic by creating a type that biodegrades in water without harming the nature – and she did it!
Sharon Barak used to work in a plastic manufacturing company. But she knew that the world needs to fight the overuse of plastic.
The substitute Sharon invented works as plastic but it dissolves in water in just minutes!
She and her team spent a long time mixing different components until they finally got the right formula. Their imitation of plastic is made of 100% eco-friendly materials that quickly dissolve in water and become part of nature. This is the solution oceans are crying for!
Also, the product is so natural and safe that people can even drink its solution. If a bag accidentally gets into the sea, it will only take a few minutes for it to become part of the water, posing no threat to animals.
Once you’re down using the item, you can just throw it down the sink!
Sharon and her team see a big potential in this new type of plastic that they have developed. They are also working hard to introduce biodegradable plastic substitute to the world.
One internet user commented: “This is a great news and looking forward to this new invention. Good luck and congratulations to these genius people.”
Another wrote: “This is just awesome. When products with this plastic come to stock, I will buy only them!”
