New PET-like plastic made directly from waste biomass
EPFL scientists have developed a new, PET-like plastic that is easily made from the non-edible parts of plants. The plastic is tough, heat-resistant, and a good barrier to gases like oxygen, making it a promising candidate for food packaging. Due to its structure, the new plastic can also be chemically recycled and degrade back to harmless sugars in the environment

Während die Agrarförderung Rekordniveau erreicht, bleiben Reformen zum Klimaschutz und gegen Marktverzerrungen unerlässlich
Die im Rahmen der EU-Agrarpolitik für Klimaschutzmaßnahmen eingesetzten Mittel sind zwar hoch, haben aber nicht zu einer Verringerung der Emissionen geführt, so ein neuer Bericht der Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (OECD)
Support to agriculture has risen in response to global crises, while reforms to combat climate change and market distortions remain essential
While EU agricultural spending for climate action is high, this has not brought emission reductions, says a new report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
