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.

Algae-Grown Bioplastic Passes Mars Pressure Test, Boosting Hopes for Red Planet Habitats
Scientists have successfully grown algae in bioplastic chambers under Mars-like conditions, marking a step toward sustainable habitats for astronauts. The chambers, made from polylactic acid, supported photosynthesis and stabilized liquid water. This breakthrough suggests self-replicating biomaterials could reduce Earth-based resupply, advancing lo...

Scientists Have Made 100 Percent Biodegradable Plastic From Barley, Can Be Used For Food Packaging
Only about nine percent of plastic is recycled globally, the rest ends up being incinerated, dumped into landfills or ends up polluting nature.

Scientists Use Bacteria To Convert CO2 In The Air Into Bioplastic
Researchers have discovered a novel microorganism that can convert today's CO2 into biodegradable plastic in the future.

New Bioplastic Can 'Disintegrate' Into Recyclable, Reusable Components Upon Command
Scientists may be closer than ever to solving the problem of creating easily recyclable and reusable plastics. A group of researchers have created a new bioplastic that can disintegrate into its derivative components upon a disintegrate “command”. The derivatives can then be reused to make high-quality biopolymers for various uses.

War On Plastic Leaves Manufacturers Clutching At Straws
For decades, plastic straws have been essential props for cocktail makers, smoothie lovers and fast food addicts. But that may be starting to change, thanks largely to vigorous environmental campaigning.
