New plant-derived composite is tough as bone and hard as aluminum
- tombert 5y agoA quick scan doesn't seem to indicate if this is bio-degradable, so I'm not 100% sure what "sustainable plastic" means. Maybe someone who understands material science better can answer, because to a lay person this just sounds like "we already had plant-based plastics in the form of PLA". I am positive that I'm missing something.
