Plastic Re-Cycling Enzyme

A plastic eating enzyme has been discovered, then,
they also found that if it is linked with another enzyme
they work at double to six times the speed to get rid of
plastic waste and turn it back to its constituent parts.

If they put it into the rivers and harbours to get rid of
the stuff, I wonder how the plastic Cabin Cruisers will
do, they are made of plastic, at least the older ones are.

The newer ones are made of carbon-fibre, but the bond
is plastic and the paint, plus they all cost a fortune to buy,
your insurance will be "Null and Void" I fear.

I worry about the unintended consequences of all of these new miracle munchers that science comes up with to save the world.

The way my luck runs it would get into the drinking water and attack the plastic in my dentures, or the various hip, knee, heart, replacement joints, and valves.

IMO it would be smarter, cheaper, and safer if we adjusted the way we live to coexist with nature in a sustainable way.
