Plastic bags are a big environmental problem. Could worms be part of the solution?

Transcript1

A beekeeper was cleaning wax worms out of her hives, and putting them in a plastic bag when she realized the worms were chewing through the plastic and chemically breaking it down.

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

A molecular3 biologist, also a beekeeper, was cleaning the worms out of her hives and putting them in plastic bags when she realized the worms were chewing through the plastic and chemically breaking them down. Scientists are still trying to figure out applications, but it seems like they've opened up a can of worms. All right. Fine. Technically4 a bag of worms - either way, it's funny. It's MORNING EDITION.
