New Bioplastic Made From Fatty Waste Degrades In One Year

Traditional plastics are made from non-renewable petroleum and take centuries to degrade. German scientists have developed a new plastic alternative that should break down within 12 months.

The scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems & Design Technology made this eco-friendly plastic from industrial waste, particularly fats, containing significant residual mineral levels.
