Bioplastics, synthesized from plant sugars or engineered from microorganisms, boast many benefits over traditional plastics, including a smaller carbon footprint, enhanced biodegradability ...

Cellulose polymers are being produced by bacterial fermentation of organic matter, and used to create strong bioplastics. Researchers in Japan are now looking to improve polymer production levels ...

Researchers have developed a highly heat-resistant bioplastic material that can be used for making car parts and construction materials, a discovery that could open the doors wider to adopting ...

Evan Ward. “There’s been a real technological revolution in bioplastics over the last decade. The technology has gotten really good and as far as the science goes, we’re already there.” ...
