By combining C02 with lignon, a paper byproduct, researchers were able to create a new plastic that could be used in construction, textiles—even to make diapers.
Researchers in Florida have transformed the climate culprit of our age—carbon dioxide—into a new kind of plastic that’s biodegradable, infinitely recyclable, and cheap and easy to produce. Could it be the plastic alternative we’ve long been looking for?
