Deakin University researchers convert food waste into bioplastic
In Australia, researchers at Deakin University have created a biodegradable plastic from avocado peels, stale bread, and sago palm starch. The material, which is detailed in the journal Matter, can be used in food packaging, and biomedical and environmental applications. “This method leverages underutilized waste materials, offering a cost-effective and environment-friendly alternative to conventional bioplastics,” […]
