Summary
Researchers extracted cellulose nanocrystals from mixed office wastepaper and incorporated them into bio-based coating matrices for packaging, achieving significantly enhanced resistance to water, gas, oil, and grease — properties that rival petroleum-based coatings while diverting paper waste from landfill.
Bioplastics have emerged as a tangible solution to the plastic waste crisis.
