Green, Biodegradable Plastic
Israeli Innovation - New Plastic with Zero Toxic Waste
Plastic that's Good for the Environment
According to the United Nations, 90% of pollutants in the ocean are plastic. Until now, no comparable, environmentally friendly substitute has come into widespread use. But, in Israel, scientists have just come up with an innovation breakthrough.
Marine, Green Plastic
Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed biodegradable plastic derived from microorganisms that feed on seaweed. There is no toxic waste from the new bioplastic and it can be recycled into organic waste.
Unique Bioplastic
Unlike other bioplastics derived from plants, this new innovation does not require arable land or fresh water. That's important in nations like Israel, India and China where there are fresh water shortages.
Plastics Legacy
Traditional plastic takes a heavy toll on the global environment. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to decay. Also, it's produced from petroleum products with an industrial process that releases chemical contaminants as a byproduct. The Israeli scientists say they have proved it's possible to produce bioplastics completely based on marine resources in an environmentally friendly manner.
