When decomposing, plastic decays into small particles and resembles poisons that float around the ocean.

Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate dependence on plastics by making more flexible materials and having less impact on the environment.

The Japan Institute of Science and Technology has announced that its scientists have created a material with a water content of up to 95%, a small amount of clay and a little organic waste.

This kind of agar-like material is being considered for use in medical technology and scientists are actively researching to increase the density of the product as well as improve the production process.

They hope that one day this rubber resin will become a suitable alternative to plastic.
