Marine plastic pollution is a worldwide problem. However, a world without plastics and polymers is unthinkable for most of us. In article number 2001121, Ge‐Xia Wang, Jun‐Hui Ji, Frederik R. Wurm, and co‐workers describe strategies to develop marine‐degradable plastics (mainly polyesters and special types of polymer blends), which will help to produce plastic products with predetermined degradation in the marine environment and to prevent further polymer accumulation in the oceans.

海水可降解的聚合物：海水可降解的聚合物-与海洋塑料污染作斗争（Adv。Sci。1/2021）

海洋塑料污染是一个世界性的问题。但是，对于我们大多数人来说，没有塑料和聚合物的世界是不可想象的。Wang Ge-Xia Wang，Jun-Hui Ji，Frederik R.Wurm和同事在文章编号2001121中描述了开发可海洋降解的塑料（主要是聚酯和特殊类型的聚合物共混物）的战略，这些战略将有助于生产塑料产品具有预定的海洋环境降解能力，并防止聚合物进一步在海洋中积聚。
