    I think there are some naturally evolved bacteria, that digest plastics. Pretty sure I’ve read an article mentioning something like that.

      Nice yeah. Not surprising, different mushrooms have different capacities to digest plastics as well, since mushrooms just kind if have all sorts of crazy stuff going on to let them do that.
