Environmental trade-offs of biodegradable plastics revealed
Switching to biodegradable plastics could slash toxic pollution by more than a third and dramatically reduce global waste by mid-century, but only if cities and companies invest in the right disposal systems, a Yale School of the Environment study found. Without proper composting facilities, biodegradable plastics could double greenhouse gas emissions.

In June, two suits filed against the Trump administration in federal court in Boston led to more than 2,000 #terminated #NIH #grants having their funding restored.
And just this week, an agreement with the plaintiffs to reconsider…

NIH director says DEI-related grants that were restored under a court order won’t be renewed

Yeast cell factory converts methanol into L-lactate for biodegradable plastics
Methanol is an ideal feedstock for bio-manufacturing. Converting it into lactate, a monomer for biodegradable plastic, offers a promising strategy for addressing the challenge of white pollution. However, it remains difficult to engineer microbes to produce lactate from methanol due to methanol toxicity and strong competition between product synthesis and cell growth.

Caracol 3D-druckt in einem Stück 6-m-Katamaran in 160 Stunden
Der Bootsbau könnte vereinfacht werden, indem ganze Bootsrümpfe im 3D-Druckverfahren ausgedruckt werden. Mit genauer Vorbereitung klappt das auch.

Scientists Create Durable Biodegradable Bamboo Plastic That’s Stronger Than Petroleum-Based Materials | Happy Eco News
Chinese researchers created biodegradable bamboo plastic with 110 MPa tensile strength that decomposes in soil within 50 days. Published in Nature Communications (October 2025), the material outperforms petroleum-based plastics in terms of strength and stability, while maintaining 90% of its original strength after recycling. This makes it a renewable and recyclable alternative for industrial use.
