Japanese Scientists Develop Eco-Friendly Plastic Ingredient Using Bacteria
This process improves yield, avoids toxic waste, and could lead to more biodegradable plastics, reducing the need for petroleum-based products.
-
Scientists Develop Biodegradable Plastics That Can Dissolve In Seawater Or Soil
The researchers said that a bioplastic alternative would be ideal for foods that ned a "food-safe" plastic lining.

Biodegradable Microbeads Could Replace Plastic Exfoliants in Skincare Products
A new biodegradable microbead has been developed as a potential replacement for plastic exfoliants in skincare products. These polymer-based beads break down into molecules resembling sugars and amino acids, making them environmentally safe. When tested on pig skin, the beads demonstrated superior performance in removing permanent marker and eyelin...

MIT Advances Active Electronics With 3D-Printed, Semiconductor-Free Logic Gates
MIT researchers have created 3D-printed logic gates that perform switching functions without semiconductors. This development could lead to more accessible electronics manufacturing, allowing devices to be printed outside traditional facilities. Though not yet comparable to silicon-based components, these printed devices are a significant step towa...

Microplastics Crisis Demands More Than Just Ocean Cleanups and Biodegradables, Says Expert
In 2004, Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from the University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom, coined the term "microplastics."

Researchers Develop Method to Break Down Plastics Under UV Light
Although biodegradable plastics can be decomposed, they require certain industrial conditions to be broken down. Researchers have now developed a way that could make plastics more degradable even in natural environments. Scientists at the Centre for Sustainable and Circular Technology (CSCT) of the University of Bath have devised a method to decomp...
