Meanwhile the fire in Yekaterinburg, Russia keeps going and growing. Eyewitnesses report hearing explosions before the blaze, with workers evacuating the premises. The cause is still unknown. Notably, foamed polyethylene is used by Russia for thermal imaging shelter and drone components.

Scientists in N. Zealand have discovered a native fungus that can break down plastic in just 140 days.
Researchers at the University of Canterbury have now found that Daldinia concentrica can digest common plastics like polypropylene & polyethylene, which make up a huge portion of global waste.
