In a Moonshot Research and Development Program run by NEDO, the University of Tokyo, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, and Gunma University successfully developed “enzyme-embedded biodegradable plastic,” which breaks down significantly faster even in deep-sea environments. The material does not break down during use, but has a switch function that starts decomposition when enzymes come into contact with water due to abrasion or other causes after the material escapes into the environment. It fully decomposes within 1 month at a quay and within 5 months even in the deep sea at a depth of 757 m. Its decomposition rate is approximately 30 times faster than that of conventional materials, contributing to reduced microplastic pollution.

Facts:
- Approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste every year
- Does not decompose for more than 300 years
- Deep-sea floors at depths of 757 m to 5,552 m
- Within 1 month at a quay
- Within 5 months even in the deep sea near a depth of 757 m
- Approximately 30 times faster
- Low temperature (4°C)
- High water pressure (7.6 MPa
