Now a hero from zero: This was how a tiny waxworm was described when in 2017, researchers found that the caterpillar had the potential to help solve one of the most pressing problems of the world: plastic waste.  
This caterpillar chomp through plastic material which includes polyethylene, a non-recyclable and common plastic presently clogging up the seas and landfills. To date, scientists have a further understanding of the how the waxworm is doing this. Then, it's coming down to its bug microbiome or bacteria.
The results, which were published, which the journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society B published early could guide initiatives to search for an effective biodegradation system for the tackling of plastic waste.
Associate professor and chair of biology at Brandon University I Canada, Christopher LeMoine, said, they discovered that waxworm caterpillars are "gifted with gut bacteria which are vital in the plastic biodegradation process."
This procedure, he added, seems dependent on an interaction between the caterpillars and their gut bacteria to speed up polyethylene degradation.
