Researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland have recently developed a new synthetic bioplastic made of derivatives of dehydrated cellulose, a sugar molecule produced by plants. Bioplastics differ from traditional carbon-based plastics because they are not produced from petroleum, but rather from renewable sources (such as plant trimmings). Several types of bioplastics are alsoContinue reading “Researchers develop synthetic bioplastic that protects against UV radiation”
