    Some weird biohacker is gonna make a strain of e. Coli that eats plastic and just dump it in the wild. It will be an apocalypse as it eats all the plastic out of the cars and homes in america and turns in into weird slime. Clothes to I suppose

    It will be a cool part of the history book though.

      This happens, and then DuPont create an anti-bacterial plastic to allow the treats to continue to flow. This causes MRSA to evolve to gain sentience. Biden is used as an example in a Supreme Court case that allows the MRSA to run for president. bug-facts

          If it helps you have resident mrsa populations on your body right now. It is only a probelm when you have skin breakdown or cross contamination issues.

      If the slime is weird enough then nobody will want plastic anymore. It would rot within days like old bread

    Really hopin' China can develop a solution for this, because even if everyone switches to non-plastic clothing soon there's still probably an non-good amount of it circulating in water systems now and I don't know how long it takes to degrade.
