Biodegradable plastics have been advertised as the solution to the plastic pollution problem bedeviling the world.
However, today ’s “compostable” plastic bags, utensils and cup lids often fail to break down during typical composting.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have now put a new spin on biodegradatable plastics.
They have pioneered a new type of thermoplastic polyurethane ( TPU ) that is not only durable but also truly biodesgradable.
The findings appeared in the journal Nature Communications .
The next step is to broaden the scope of biodegradable materials we can make with this technology, scientists say.
The findings were published in Nature Communications , which is published by the San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering .
