PET Plastic Breaks Down Faster Than Thought | California News

About this episode

A new study shocks the world: PET plastic, found in water bottles and clothing, is breaking down in just a few years—not centuries. This rapid degradation happens in everyday environments, forcing us to rethink plastic’s long-term impact. While it may reduce landfill buildup, the unknown byproducts could create new environmental dangers. Scientists are racing to uncover what’s really happening—and whether this change is universal. It’s a wake-up call: our plastics story is far from over.
