minus-squarei_love_FFT@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoYeah. There’ll probably be a long period before plastic can be biodegraded, like it happened for wool/cellulose in pre-historic periods. At some point, a mushroom will learn how to use it efficiently and then it will all be degraded. We will be long gone by then.
