Fruktavfall becomes edible bioplastic in Borås

"Disposables can be environmentally friendly. How about a mug that you can eat up after to have drunk out of, or a lunch that has been packed into the plastic film made of äppelrester?"

"Research at the University of Borås shows that it is possible to make the plastic of the fruktavfall."

"In his dissertation, describes Veronika Bátori at the University of Borås how she has made bioplastics by waste from the oranges, and apples. The aim is to reduce the problem of disposable in nature."

"She has used two methods. The rst is to produce a solution which is allowed to dry to a thin bio-based film, such as, for example, could be used to package food, or to become, bags for food waste."

"With the second method, she has created products of avfallsmassan in a 3D printer. She describes the processes as simple. Materials behave a little bit different, and the orange and the apple were also in the mix."

"a Little teething products, however. For example, the dissolved material up in the water, which is not so good when you should do a mug. Hence the need for more research, " she says."
