Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) say that without the responsible use of synthetic plastics, bioplastics can make little difference. However, innovative solutions are needed to tackle today&#8217;s global ecological crisis, and bioplastics can play a crucial role in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, according to the KTU professor, most bioplastics are produced from agricultural, so-called first-generation, feedstock, mainly using hydrocarbon-rich plants such as potatoes, corn, sugar cane, and wheat. This choice of bioplastic raw material inevitably raises an ethical question: Can we let food be used for bioplastic bag production, for example?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project, like many others, is inspired by nature, which encloses many of its fruits and seeds in &#8216;shells&#8217; to protect them against unfavorable natural factors like humidity, UV rays, pathogens, and pests. Although the physical protection\u2014for example, in the nut shells\u2014is mostly created by the lignocellulosic framework, it is, however, reinforced by various bioactive compounds. Hence, in developing new ways to produce functional bioplastics, we are exploring the potential of these natural compounds as key active agents,&#8221; says Dr. Amobonye.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2024-11-bioplastics-play-crucial-role-tackling.html\">Phys.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-635\/\">Bioplastics can play a crucial role in tackling the global ecological crisis, say researchers<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7630,17109,575],"class_list":["post-135701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bioplastics","tag-ecological-crisis","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135701\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
