    #BritishColumbiaUniversity scientists & the Wet'suwet'en #FirstNation create decomposing '#biofoam' #packaging from #woodwaste, #sustainablefunctionalbiomaterial. Biofoam's texture is close to #Styrofoam & can be similarly fashioned into different shapes. Its natural origins make it slightly darker in colour. #sustainable #biomaterials #biomaterial #BritishColumbia #Canada #FirtNations #Indigenous #Environment cbc.ca/news/canada/british-col

    B.C. scientists and Wet’suwet’en First Nation create decomposing ‘biofoam’ packaging from wood "#Styrofoam can take 500 years to decompose as it bloats #landfills around the world, but new packing material called #biofoam made of forestry waste can decompose in a matter of weeks, say scientists."

    "The project’s intellectual property is shared by Jiang’s team and the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, UBC..." thestar.com/news/canada/2022/1 #environment
