The Green Science Alliance has been attempting to replace all petrochemical-derived products with natural biomass-derived chemicals. This time, Dr. Ryohei Mori has developed a 100% natural biomass biodegradable coating material based on PLA (polylactic acid).
PLA-based 100% natural biomass biod...
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the more maturely researched and applied degradable plastics. Its raw materials come from renewable plant fibers, corn, agricultural by-products, etc., which have good biodegradability. PLA has excellent mechanical properties, similar to polypropylene plastics, a...
PHA is a generic term for a large group of materials, synthesized by a large number of bacteria as intracellular polyesters. PHA is a completely biodegradable new biomaterial, and the only completely biosynthetic carbon neutral biodegradable material. Also, pure PHA products are ha...
On April 7, a research paper published in the Journal of Environmental Science, the top journal in the field of environmental science, showed that a team of researchers led by the University of Hull in the United Kingdom had found microplastics deep in the human lungs for the first time.
What i...
In recent years, news about microplastic pollution has been commonplace, but it is the first time that microplastic contamination has been found deep in the lungs of a living person. on April 6, the British newspaper The Guardian reported the horrifying discovery. Samples for this study were ta...
In the "plastic restriction" requirements, non-degradable disposable plastic bags gradually out of the market, can be repeatedly used non-woven bags become one of the main alternatives, in supermarkets, restaurants, take-away and other areas are widely used, some local governments will als...
PLA is the most widely studied bio-based degradable polymer material. PLA can degrade within weeks under industrial composting conditions, but it is still more difficult to degrade in natural environments such as soil or seawater. The introduction of more degradable bonds by copolymerizing prop...
On April 8, 2022, the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom held a conference to discuss the success of policies to address the global plastic pollution crisis. The two-day online seminar reviewed research and recommendations initiated by the Global Plastics Policy Center, which was la...
In an effort to reduce the use of single-use plastic items, on April 5, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors gave preliminary approval to an ordinance requiring that any food containers, cups, plates and utensils served in restaurants and food handling establishments on county-owned property ...
Today, a variety of innovative technology launches are driving healthy market development while also bringing more growth opportunities for the packaging printing sector. Along with the emergence of many "black technology" one by one, more and more amazing packaging products began to ...
