Researchers have developed a multilayer PLA film strengthened with cellulose derived from fermented coconut water. The material limits oxygen transmission and biodegrades in soil, although further development is needed before it can replace flexible conventional packaging.
Researchers have developed a hemp-based thermoplastic with PET-like strength, flexibility, and heat resistance, offering a safer alternative to petroleum plastics.
Sodium batteries reduce costs by up to 40 percent, improve cold-weather performance, and eliminate cobalt and nickel, paving the way for affordable electric cars.
A breakthrough eco friendly battery upcycling process converts spent lithium ion batteries into high voltage energy storage systems, enabling sustainable circular energy storage with lower environmental impact.
Russian university researchers have developed innovative asphalt using recycled plastic waste, improving road durability, cutting costs, and reducing landfill pollution without changing production processes.
