Beyond Plastic: Scientists Who Made Flip Flops from Algae Are Creating More Biodegradable Alternatives to Petroleum-Based Products
It is heartening to see the research community continue the quest to find realistic alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. A group at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) continues building on previous work that developed algae-based flip flops and rigid foam used in surfboards. Their latest effort is purifying oil from green microalgae for use … Read more
