Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia have discovered worms that feed on plastics, which pose a major threat to the environment.
A three-week trial of three types of worms revealed the miracle of worms called superworms that bite and digest plastic waste.
These worms digest the enzyme plastic in the gut. It has been suggested that studying the bacteria in this enzyme could revolutionize plastic recycling. It is also believed that it can produce environmentally friendly plastics.
