Mealworms Can Eat Plastic, But Study Shows Limited Impact on Pollution Crisis
Research published in Biology Letters has examined the ability of mealworms to break down plastics, including disposable face masks. According to the study, it takes 100 mealworms about 138 days to consume a single polypropylene mask. The findings indicate that while insects like mealworms can eat and degrade plastics, their slow consumption rate m...
