Egg whites have always been known for their muscle-building and cholesterol-lowering properties, but recent research by Princeton Engineering takes this notion to a whole new level. Scientists have discovered a way to use egg whites to create an innovative material that can remove microplastics from oceans at an economical rate. What are Microplastics? Microplastics are small plastic particles that arise from the breakdown of larger plastics and commercial product production. These particles find their way into our food and water supply, causing health problems and contributing to the estimated 24 trillion pieces of microplastics in the ocean. From Breakfast to … Continue reading Eggs can Go Beyond the Kitchen to Tackle Ocean Plastic Pollution
