I hope this isn’t the last we hear about it.

BUT are those microbes really safe & harmless?
Also, the article says the plastic bags didn’t fully biodegrade at the time of writing yet… DO they fully biodegrade?

what about additives to the bags, such as colors (possibly heavy metals) etc?

& how could this process be used for landfills where the trash is ‘mixed together’?
/or incinerators…?/

Would really love to read more about this!
