Rather than a potential triumph, the compostable plastics we use look increasingly like a tragedy. Andy Extance looks at the ...

Mad Tea’s 100% compostable tea pods, made from a blend of PHA and other compostable bioplastics, aim to satisfy consumer ...

Researchers at King’s College London have discovered an enzyme used in laundry detergents that can break down PLA plastics within 24 hours, using a little heat as an aid. Normally, this is ...

Based on type, the global biodegradable plastic market is bifurcated into PLA (POLYLACTIC ACID), PBAT (POLYBUTYLENE ADIPATE TEREPHTHALATE), PBS (POLYBUTYLENE SUCCINATE), PHA (POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES), ...

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 ...

Biopolymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are of particular interest for production from plant- or tree-based resources. These polymers, besides being produced from ...

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

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

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
