#enzymes — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌱🌿 Arya Satheesh developed a #bioplastic called Eco Purge that biodegrades in two weeks.

The material releases specific #enzymes designed to break down existing #microplastics in #soil and #water. Her #research and prototype earned her the European category win at the 2026 #EarthPrize.

“…with #plastic production doubling every 15 years. The relatively low cost of #petroleum based polymers encourages their single use and #overconsumption. Synthetic plastics are recalcitrant to #biodegradation, and #mismanagement of plastic waste leads to their accumulation in the #ecosystem, resulting in a disastrous #environmentalfootprint.

Placing a list of hashtags of interest in your profile keeps them conveniently located for future use, but they won't return your profile to someone else's search using those same terms. If you want people to find you through your common interests, then you will need to place that hashing list inside a post, like so.
