Upgrading recycled thermoplastics using cellulose oxalate for a more sustainable future 

The absolute majority of plastic used today are fossil-based thermoplastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. To an extent these plastics are recycled through mechanical recycling but the recycled plastic is mainly used for low-end, low quality products. This is due to decreased mechanical properties and due to that the recycled plastic often obtains a black […]

Upscaling of natural plastic alternatives: towards a sustainable industry

The extensive use of fossil-based plastic around the world is accelerating climate change. The global life cycle GHG emissions of fossil-based plastics were 1.7 Gt of CO2 equivalent in 2015 and would reach 6.5 Gt CO2 equivalent by 2050 if the current plastic demand trend were to continue. However, legislations and consumers are pushing the
