What is dissolves? And then what? Same with those enzymes breaking down polyfluorakyl substances. Don't you end up with more micro plastics? Dissolves sounds nice but it needs to go somewhere.

I think cleaning and recycling ie. plastic bottles is more sustainable for global health than potentionally creating more microplastics
