A water-soluble plastic made of seaweed and mango peels could provide a greener alternative to today’s petroleum-based products.
The bio-plastic was created by recent University of San Carlos graduate Denxybel Montinola, who was inspired by a video explaining the process of producing plastic from seaweed. Since Montinola’s home country is also a major producer of mangos, he decided to add their peels to the mix, resulting in a material that performs even better than traditional plastic, and will also dissolve in water. Going beyond packaging, the bio-plastic could also be used to create a tissue scaffold to protect burns or stop local bleeding.
