#bioplastics — Public Fediverse posts

University of Connecticut: A Hemp-based Plastic Offers a Greener Alternative to Plastic Packaging. “In a study recently published in Chem Circularity, a team of scientists and engineers demonstrates a stretchy, hemp-derived thermoplastic that can extend up to 1,600% of its size. The material has a high ‘glass transition temperature,’ a quality that allows plastics to stay dry and durable when […]

Just heard an interesting talk about #BioPlastics by [email protected] at #OggCamp.

Alex was trying to make plastics from various materials at the Manchester HackSpace.

He was mostly using a material called Kylozin, which can make a substance called "Nacre", which has potential as a plastic replacement.

His end goal is to make an I-beam from the stuff.

The Conversation: Researchers develop biodegradable, plant‑based packaging from natural fibers – new research . “That serendipitous finding in 2014 shifted my team of engineering students’ focus from color to packaging. We asked whether natural materials could rival the performance of common plastics. In the years since, our team has used this discovery to create biodegradable films that […]

Plastics derived from biological matter, or #bioplastics, eg #bamboo are increasingly popular, but they still only make up around half a per cent of the more than 400 million tonnes of #plastics produced each year.

Biodegradable & bioplastics explained

The dirty truth about bioplastics - and how to (dis)solve it (13:53)

Important comment by
@michaela564: "Another point you never mentioned, is that the amount of land required to grow bio-plastics to replace oil based plastic consumption is enormous and unrealistic. Therefore the best option is for us to just reduce our plastic consumption at the end of the day."
