That study used the same seawater tank and compared eight different straws made of CDA, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polylactic acid (PLA), polypropylene (PP) and paper. Different straw materials ...

Our modern relationship with plastics is complicated. The material is ubiquitous in packaging and product design, but plastic ...

So I spent a lot of time trolling 3D printing message boards and communities trying to find the best way of gluing PLA. It should come as no surprise that, like everything else in the world ...

They mixed spores carrying GFP expression plasmids with PBS (polybutylene succinate), PBAT (polybutylene ...

The global bio-plastic market is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 96.6 billion in 2023, driven by consumer education and awareness. The trend is expected to create new opportunities for the ...
