Although this is good to hear, we could also just keep dumping PVA into our environment until an organism develops that can metabolise it and subsequently adapts to eat any kind of plastic ultimately rendering all plastics useless. Bonus points if metabolising the plastics releases toxic byproducts further ultra whopperfuck killing the bleeding piss out of everything that happens to be nearby

Edit: although I am grateful for the earnest replies, I would like to mention that I intended my post to be sarcastic

We have plenty of organisms that can eat wood, that hasn't rendered wood useless to us.
