"Scientists in London have invented what they claim is the world's first fully biodegradable party balloon.
Researchers at Imperial College London say standard balloons can take years to break down and can release harmful chemicals.
But their new balloon biodegrades within nine months."

TIL about Bois Durci, an early plastic that was made from wood dust and ox blood, pressed into a heated mould.

Intriguing research from Kyushu University in southern Japan in using pumpkin peel food waste to make biodegradable packaging which also keeps the food better than plastic, cutting down on food waste. But I have questions. Among them, what kind of environmental impact does the process of making it have, and does the packaging itself have an unintended impact that is unknown?

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Scientists at #ETHZurich in #Switzerland turned leftover #proteins from #tofu and #cheese production into tiny beads that trap #CO2 from the #air.
The beads work at room temperature, can be reused many times, and when they eventually wear out they can become fertilizer or #biofuel – all while outperforming existing #carboncapture #technology.

#Biodegradable plastic made from bamboo is strong and easy to #recycle.
Dawei Zhao at Shenyang University of Chemical Technology in China and his colleagues have developed a way to produce #plastic from cellulose derived from bamboo, which can replicate or surpass the properties of many widely used plastics. #nature #ecology #ecosystem

Plastic pollution in shooting ranges and warfare areas - an overlooked environmental issue
"Shooting ranges and military training fields, including warfare-impacted areas, have been widely recognized as environmentally impacted zones by inorganic and organic contamination, such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or explosive-related compounds. However, the possible contamination by plastics and #microplastics in soil has been widely overlooked despite potential plastic sources, such as #ShotgunCartridges, plastic wads or landmines. Due to how these activities occur, plastics have remained in the field for decades or centuries, favoring their conversion from macro to microplastics, polluting the soil and water resources. Moreover, shooting and recreational activities such as #airsoft or #paintball practices could also be a substantial source of plastics to ecosystems; once shot, pellets can have conventional or biodegradable plastics in their composition, and there left in the environment, favouring impacts on soil properties. Although some initiatives have emerged to avoid the use of single-use plastics in shotgun #ammunition, alternative materials (#biodegradable plastics) can also be a potential risk, favouring the heavy metal bioavailability of shot pellets. These emerging pollutants should also be considered in these areas to understand if they could be a potential source of micro- and nanoplastics to the environment and, therefore, an environmental concern that requires changes at industrial and regulatory levels."

Young people play a vital role in protecting the #environment and supporting sustainable #food production.Here, we are carefully separating #biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials, a practice known as #waste management Biodegradable materials, can decompose naturally and be transformed into compost manure that enriches the soil. This process is essential for improving #soil fertility and increasing #crop production sustainably

#PolylacticAcid is a #biodegradable #plastic that can be broken down into oligomeric lactic acid (OLA) #nanoplastics. This study shows that OLA particles can accumulate in the #placenta & #fetus in pregnant mice, inducing placental vascular dysplasia & fetal growth restriction @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4bR4e6W

Scientists have tested, for the first time, how #biodegradable wet wipes break down when flushed rather than composted discovering that most wipes remain after five weeks – a finding the research team says challenges the marketing of these products.

Our researchers, in collaboration with Empa and CSEM, have developed a sustainable smart sensing tag that can be used to signal when shipments of medicines or food have exceeded a safe threshold temperature. It is the first such tag to be fully compostable.

Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart #sensing tag that measures #temperature and #humidity in real time – and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In the future, this could be used to monitor sensitive shipments such as medicines or food. The sensor tag itself is completely #biodegradable

For the most part, it works really well. This relatively small system can eat nearly all #biodegradable #trash from my two-human, two-cat household. (Yes, even the cat's kill goes in sometimes). Only when I suddenly have a lot of trash, it might not all fit in the external buffers and I might have to discard some with the general waste. The compost worms, potworms and woodlice seem very happy. I get a steady supply of high-quality #wormCastings from it. I produce so much castings that I am constantly giving them away to friends and family.
