These are the worms that are making the whole world excited. The reason is ...

It can be said that this worm is the key, saving the most difficult problem for humanity today.

Every year, people use trillions of plastic bags, with hundreds of millions of tons of plastic. According to statistics, at least 8 million tons of plastic waste is discharged into the environment each year.

Solving this plastic is a problem that is not simple, while they are seriously affecting the environment, especially with living things in the ocean. However, the key to every problem may be the worm in the image below.

It is the worms that are making the whole world excited. The reason is because it does not eat leaves, but absorbs nutrients by nylon and plastic waste. It even emits a transparent alcohol that is not harmful to the environment.

Experts from Cantabria Institute of Biomedical and Biotechnology (Spain) have found the possibility of this worm by chance. In one observation, they found that the nylon bags containing waxy worms decomposed very quickly, forming tangled holes. In less than 1 hour, the bag was decomposed to the point where it could not be reused.

"We have just discovered that larvae of the world's most common butterfly - Galleria mellonella - are capable of breaking down even the most durable and stubborn plastic that is now polyethylene," said Federica Bertocchini, head of research. know.

Usually, this worms don't eat plastic. But with new findings, experts suspect that this is a secondary possibility, in addition to their natural habits.

Accordingly, this worm lays eggs in the hives. The larvae hatch and grow on beeswax - which contains a mixture of many fats. And decomposing beeswax compared to polyethylene are quite similar chemical breakdown processes.

"Why? Because beeswax is a polymer, is a form of" naturally occurring plastic, "explains Dr. Bertocchini.

With this finding, experts believe that it is possible to find a way to isolate the biological mechanism of the worm, thereby providing a solution for the majority of today's polyethylene waste.

" We are hoping to find the most effective way to remove plastic waste, thereby rescuing marine, rivers, oceans and oceans wherever plastic is occupied, " Bertocchini said.

However, she also warned: " We still have to remain conscious. Don't dump plastic dumps naturally, just because we know we have a way to decompose them . "
