Scientists racing to tackle plastic pollution have created a surprising new contender: a biodegradable packaging film made partly from milk protein. Researchers at Flinders University blended calcium caseinate with starch and natural nanoclay to form a thin, durable material designed to mimic everyday plastic. In soil tests, the film fully broke down in about 13 weeks, pointing to a realistic alternative for single-use food packaging.
Hah, the title (being just “Plastic is…”) makes it sound like it applies to plastic in general! I wish.
Well, actually I don’t wish. It sure would be inconvenient for all the electronics and stuff that are made out of plastic.
