#Researchers help develop next-generation bioplastic materials Avantium is a spin-off from the petrochemicals giant Royal dutch shell
The contribution of Marie Curie supported researchers has been essential in enabling us to undertake the very important initial development of these next generation'green'bioplastic materials.
and bioplastics (derived from renewable biomass sources such as corn or biogas methane). As part of a"cradle-to-cradle"approach, the researchers will explore the fate of these materials

The bioplastic PLA is derived from renewable resources, including the sugar in maize and sugarcane. Fermentation turns the sugar into lactic acid
According to co-author Professor Bert Sels of hape-selective zeolite catalysis for bioplastics productionthe production process for PLA is expensive because of the intermediary steps."
#Water heals a bioplastic (w/video) A drop of water self-heals a multiphase polymer derived from the genetic code of squid ring teeth,
the bioplastic known as polylactic acid (PLA) is already a part of our everyday lives. And yet, PLA is considered not yet a full alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, as it is costly to produce.
