Plastic is one of the most common packaging materials used for the things we purchase on a day-to-day basis and it’s not exactly the most environmentally friendly substances in the world. Now, a German scientist has discovered a way to cure our plastic blues - with liquid wood.
This strange invention could completely revolutionize the way we look at plastic and maybe even completely replace it! I hope they continue to develop the concept of liquid wood for the sake of the environment and our health.
“Car parts and other durable items made of this bio-plastic already exist, but the chemical hadn’t been suitable for household use until now, due to the high content of sulfurous substances used in separating the lignin from the cell fibers. The German researchers were able to reduce the sulfur content in Arboform by about 90 percent, making it much safer for use in everyday items.”
