Minderoo Foundation's Global Plastic Watch is live today!GPW is a digital platform that maps the world's pollution in real time.This will help to identify which sites are legal or illegal and whether they are adjacent to water ways that lead to the ocean.  This is cutting edge technology that combines satellite technology with machine learning and will drive better plastic waste management and reduce the estimated 10 million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans annually.  https://globalplasticwatch.org

While plastic usually takes hundreds of years to decompose, Scientists have developed an enzyme that could shorten that time to mere hours. Engineers at the University of Texas in Austin have been working on solutions to the polyethylene terephthalate problem, which currently accounts for 12 per cent of the Earth's global waste. The polymer is found in bottles, packaging and textiles. Now, they may have found the solution.https://www.joe.co.uk/environment/engineers-develop-an-enzyme-that-can-break-down-plastic-in-hours-not-centuries-333198?
