The initial testing showed remarkable results. Scientists unveil futuristic material that could reshape how we live and work: ...

A new plant-based, waterproof material has been created that could replace everyday items like plastic cups and straws, providing a sustainable alternative that degrades more rapidly than plastic ...

Much of the U.S. uses single-stream recycling, where plastic, glass and paper go into one bin. Here’s what happens to that ...

The researchers note that end-products could be as thin as plastic cup walls, or as thick as desired. They describe the material as tPB, a transparent 3D material made solely of cellulose.

When they added a coating made from a plant-derived fatty acid salt, the cup became completely waterproof. The material can be ... a paper-based alternative to plastic is “not a bad thing ...

Despite global pledges and policy nudges, single-use plastics — bags, straws, cups ... waterproof cellulose material that mimics the function of disposable plastic — minus the environmental ...

Lately, synthetic materials like plastic and paper have started replacing these clay cups, as they are cheaper and more convenient for vendors to acquire. But the clay cups still persist in India.
