"In order for #PVA to #biodegrade, special PVA-adapted microbes need to be added at high levels and for long durations. Currently, most water treatment facilities do not sufficiently treat PVA in water, and therefore poses a series of environmental and safety concerns. "

Also:
"the production of PVA film involves heavy environmental and safety burdens in carcinogenic toxins, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, and fossil fuel depletion."

Can we #design all material resources to #biodegrade at end-of-use into simpler substances that feed #ecosystems?

When finished looping, can the materials we’ve used break down—either on their own or on command? Designing for impermanence calls for material reformation and #innovation. Materials used across controlled-loop #systems must recirculate within usable timeframes—over days, weeks, months, years, or decades rather than millennia.

"...strong carbon-fluorine bonds. That means such #chemicals are both highly stable and useful in products designed to repel grease and water [#hydrophobic]. But it also means they do not readily #biodegrade..."

Breakthroughs like the one in #Canada are therefore sorely needed because the Forever Chemicals might as well be called "Everywhere Chemicals", too:
