Top 5 Countries Leading the Way in #Hemp 🌱 😀 👯 #Cannabis Production
50,000 years ago, humans found a way to create fabric using Hemp, and ever since then, it has become one of the most widely used #plants for #industrialpurposes, all across the #globe.
Right from #textiles to #pharmaceuticals, #biofuels to #bioplastics, the usage and application of hemp as a #sustainablecrop is gaining momentum at a tremendous scale.

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 […]

Instead of oil and land: Researchers at #CharitéBerlin have engineered new strains of bacteria 🦠 that can produce #chemicals ⚗️ from industrial waste 🗑️. Using this technology, things like #bioplastics and #biofuels could be produced more sustainably. The team achieved this feat by getting the bacteria to follow a completely new type of metabolism called #RespiroFermentation. Viva la #sustainability! 🥳

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."

PLA bioplastics, a type of plastic made from plant-based materials, are often touted as a greener alternative to conventional plastics. However, a new study shows that PLA bioplastics, such as reduced growth, reproduction, and survival, can negatively impact aquatic life. The study suggests that PLA bioplastics are not as eco-friendly as they seem and that more research is needed to assess their environmental effects.

Regular reminder: "bioplastics" are NOT better for the environment, and "biodegradable" plastics don't biodegrade unless they're in an industrial composter. The focus needs to be on reducing unnecessary plastic use, and closing the loop on everything else. Making plastic out of corn/bamboo instead really doesn't help. #Ocean #Pollution #Bioplastics See here for more:
