A bacterium that can degrade the common polymer polybutylene succinate (PBS), which naturally biodegrades only to a limited extent in marine environments, could lead to improved ways to recycle this polymer. The bacterium's potential, and its enzyme molecule that breaks down PBS, were discovered by researchers at Hokkaido University, working with colleagues at the Mitsubishi Chemical Group in Japan. The team published their results in the journal Environmental Microbiology. PBS is generally regarded as an eco-friendly polymer due to its biodegradability when discarded on land and exposed to the atmosphere. This has led to its increased use since the early 1990s in industrial plastics, including mulching films, compostable bags, and catering packaging. But many discarded plastics eventually find their way into the sea, and unfortunately, PBS does not biodegrade well in that environment.

yall she's still around. the time between "oh hey, i can do this in a lab" and "i can do this in an industrial capacity and at a cost that's reasonable and with the variety of structural properties people want out of common plastics" is a long one, and not all things you can do in a lab are particularly easy to scale up.
In particular nopales are... not particularly known for being a "produces tons of biomass very rapidly and harvest in bulk with machinery" kind of plant. And the plastic here, according to the news articles, composts within 2-3 days when submerged in water. which is awesome, but it also means it's not ideal for holding your moist pb&j or being the wrap over a chicken breast or w/e.
Here's an excerpt from a 2023 opinion/survey piece from Dr. Sandra Pascoe Ortiz (the lady in this bbc video) and i wanna draw your attention to the fact that she is NOT saying "i have solved plastic with my nopales, and I need protection from big oil hitmen" she's saying "collectively we've made a lot of progress on this, but it's a complicated problem and there's a lot of issues we still need to solve with the science, industrial engineering, economics, politics, and social awareness"
... [some] Bioplastics may come from biological material but are chemically the same as petroleum-derived plastic, the only thing that changes is the source from which they are obtained; for example, with Bio-polyethylene terephthalate (Bio-PET), the "Bio" only indicates that its origin is vegetable. This compound is neither biodegradable nor compostable, it is considered a bioplastic only because of its origin. The environmental benefit of this type of material is that, because it comes from a plant, a certain amount of carbon dioxide is captured during the production of its raw material (during the life of those plants). In general terms, the production process of bioplastics compared to petroleum-derived plastics has less of an environmental impact in terms of the balance of greenhouse gas emissions.
It is also important to note that the fact that a bioplastic is biodegradable or compostable does not mean that it can be thrown anywhere and will just disappear. Most biodegradable or compostable bioplastic waste requires processing under controlled conditions to be incorporated back into nature: they must be composted at industrial level. For example, polylactic acid (PLA) takes 80 years in the open air to biodegrade or, if composted industrially, takes days or a few months depending on the conditions of the process.
The market for both biodegradable and non-biodegradable bioplastics is growing and these materials have been gaining ground over petroleum-based plastics (although not enough). The main biodegradable bioplastics on the market are polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), PLA, starch blends, polybutylene succinate (PBS), cellulose films and polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHAs). According to data from European Bioplastic in cooperation with the Nova-Institute from 2021, the most common applications of these materials are in flexible and rigid packaging, consumer goods, textile fibers and in agriculture, and it is projected that by 2026 the production of biodegradable bioplastics will be considerably higher than that of non-biodegradable bioplastics.
Bioplastics have several drawbacks. Some the raw materials they use are often also used for food, there is not enough production and their costs are higher than those of conventional plastics. It is often the consumer who has to absorb the price difference and is not in a position to do so, adding another reason why, so far, they have not been able to significantly displace petroleum-based plastics. Bioplastics and biodegradable plastics are part of the solution to the problem of plastic pollution, as they generally have reduced environmental impacts in their production processes and, in some cases, because it is feasible to treat their waste, but they are not the only and absolute solution; the problem of plastic pollution is more complex and is still far from being completely solved. For these materials to reach their full potential, it will be essential to have regulations to regulate their production, certifications in terms of biodegradability and proper education for buyers to choose products that help in the conservation of the environment.
Finally, it should be remembered that pollution is mainly generated by the misuse of materials and poor disposal of their waste. The real problem is the abuse of plastic materials, whether they are biodegradable or not, since they are mainly used in containers, packaging and single-use products, and most of the time they are discarded not because they are useless or their useful life has ended, but because of the convenience of using and throwing away. Certain quantities of plastics can be recycled; however, when they are mixed with other types of waste they become contaminated and when different types of plastic are not adequately separated, this recycling becomes practically impossible. Nevertheless, the recycling of some bioplastics has not yet been trialed, not because it cannot be done, but because of the small quantities of these materials compared to conventional plastics, which makes it practically unaffordable. So, instead of blaming plastic materials for existing environmental pollution, we need to look closely at how we use resources and dispose of waste. No matter how many bioplastics or "environmentally friendly" materials there are, if we do not reduce the production of these types of materials and consequently their waste, there will be no real solutions. We need to be aware of what we consume, support initiatives that promote environmental care and demand the commitment of governments to legislate and enforce laws, as well as encouraging businesses to change their materials and production proceses.
Like, not to put too fine a point on it, but if your response every time you see a news article about some tech and it doesn't immediately fundamentally transform society is "must have been suppressed by the elites and their killsquads", you WILL end up drinking the conspiracy kool-aid. And I also think it's disrespectful to scientists like Pascoe Ortiz to imagine that the science is fundamentally easy, instead of something that takes years of dedication and hard work and many false-starts and dead ends! If you're impressed by her work then,.. put some respect on her and her colleagues work!
