Microbes could help remove microplastics from the environment By While larger plastics can, theoretically, be easily collected and disposed of, the bits they leave behind, called microplastics, are much harder to get out of the environment but researchers say biofilms could help to do it. File Photo by Jennifer Lavers/IMAS/EPA April 28 (UPI) Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a new way to remove microplastics from the environment. Their method uses biofilms, large mats of microorganisms, to trap microplastics, which can then be collected for processing and recycling. Advertisement On Wednesday, researchers presented the new technique to virtual attendees of the Microbiology Society s Annual Conference.
