Bacterial cellulose fabrics are reshaping sustainable fashion. Scientists have created naturally colored fibers using bacteria alone, opening the door to cleaner, chemical-free textile production.
Europe’s plastics recycling sector is facing its most severe decline in decades, with widespread facility closures threatening sustainability targets, jobs, and circular economy progress across the continent.
A new plant- and mushroom-based film developed at Georgia Tech could finally replace traditional plastic packaging. The biodegradable material blocks moisture and oxygen as effectively as common plastics—even in humid conditions.
Italian recyclers have halted the collection of plastic bales as rising energy costs and cheap imports push the country’s recycling sector into an unprecedented crisis
Andritz and Genera are transforming the packaging industry with compostable, grass-based bioplastics. Their collaboration strengthens sustainable production, circular innovation, and the shift away from fossil-based materials.
A team of Japanese researchers has crafted a new plastic that dissolves entirely in seawater within hours, offering a game-changing tool against marine pollution and microplastics
Australian researchers have discovered a revolutionary way to transform plastic waste into food for microorganisms. This innovation not only reduces pollution but also drives the circular economy toward a sustainable future.
