A new #NSFfunded project is working to turn domestic materials (like corn or sugar) into tough, reusable bioplastics, cutting reliance on imported oil, boosting U.S. manufacturing, and benefiting natural habitats and wildlife.
purdue.edu
Less than 10% of plastics are recycled. A Purdue-led team, backed by NSF, is creating durable bioplastics from raw materials — reducing waste and strengthening sustainable manufacturing.
