From bottles and bags, to less obvious sources like teabags and clothes - plastic pollution is any plastic that ends up in the environment. 

With the global call to fight climate change growing louder, innovators are hard at work to develop solutions that can make plastic disappear. 

On this episode of Climate Connections:

The Earthshot Prize 2022 winner, Rodrigo García González, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Notpla takes us behind-the-scenes of his company's seaweed-based invention that naturally decomposes in weeks, compared to 700 years for plastic.

Associate Professor Soo Han Sen from the NTU School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology shares how his team developed a method to upcycle plastics into liquids that can store hydrogen.
