The global cellulose plastics market size is expected to witness a substantial rise in the coming future, and register a significant CAGR over the forecast period (2019 – 2027). This Study Report ...
Researchers developed a plant based plastic that stays strong during use but dissolves safely in seawater, leaving no microplastics behind.
Plastic has become part of everyday life, but its benefits come with a serious cost. Cheap, durable plastics accumulate in landfills and spread through soil, rivers, and oceans.
Researchers made a strong, flexible plastic from plant cellulose that breaks down quickly in natural environments, unlike ...
Plastics are one of the largest sources of pollution on Earth, lasting for years on land or in water. But a new type of brilliantly colored cellulose-based plastic detailed in ACS Nano could change ...
This plant-based plastic is as strong as traditional petroleum-based plastic, but its properties can be tailored to suit ...
A new biodegradable plastic from plant cellulose breaks down in seawater without microplastics. It may be a sustainable ...
Plastic is a term that refers to a set of materials that can be made from either natural or manufactured resources and can be used to make a variety of products. We look at the raw materials that are ...
Researchers in Japan have invented a new type of plant-based plastic that fully degrades in seawater without leaving behind any microplastics. Made from plant cellulose, the world’s most abundant ...
Toward the close of World War I big Eastman Kodak Co. got scared. Low and uncertain were its supplies of methanol (wood alcohol), indispensable solvent of the cellulose nitrate from which photographic ...
Researchers led by Takuzo Aida at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem. In a study published in the ...
