Our most recent updates about our fellow Plastic-Free Pals in action

 

“Beauty and Detriment: Microplastics”
To figure out its plastic species,
We often look for a number below
However, what if they’re in tiny pieces?
How now shall we know?
 
When these plastics break down to the miniscule,
With each type fragmenting slowly and differently.
Maybe that’s exactly where lies the needed clue
To figure out their identity with ease and efficiency
 
Stained with Nile Red, these plastics glow
Ever uniquely because of their intrinsic properties
Ranging from purple, blue, red and yellow
Their identity may lie in these oddities
 
As pretty and charming as they may shine,
These microplastics are still a pest.
Hopefully with this method we shall find
An identification method that works best.
