Researchers at the University of Waterloo are the first in the world to use 3D imaging technology to study how microplastics degrade.

The understanding could help scientists design more efficient and eco-friendly recycling methods.

Microplastics are linked to a number of health issues, and their small size makes them prone to end up in our food, water, and bodies.
