CU Boulder researchers have developed nanobio-hybrid organisms capable of using airborne carbon dioxide and nitrogen to produce a variety of plastics and fuels, a promising first step toward low-cost carbon sequestration and eco-friendly manufacturing for chemicals.  “Living Factories” that Eat Harmful CO 2 By using light-activated quantum dots to fire particular enzymes within microbial cells, the researchers were able to create “living factories” that eat harmful CO 2  and convert it into useful products such as  biodegradable  plastic, gasoline, ammonia and biodiesel. “The innovation is a testament to the power of biochemical processes,” said Prashant Nagpal, lead author of the research and an assistant professor in CU Boulder’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. “We’re looking at a technique that could improve CO 2  capture to combat climate change and one day even potentially replace carbon-intensive manufacturing for plastics and fuels.” Nanoscopic Quant

Airbus engineers have developed a new aircraft concept that could be the first to flap its wings. Well, not the entire wing, just the tip. The team created AlbatrossOne, a scale-model prototype that has been under development for the past 20 months at the Airbus Filton facility in the UK. The new wing design features what Airbus is calling a "semi-aeroelastic hinge." Essentially, the tip of the wing flickers to fend off turbulence and wind gusts while also reducing drag and overall wing weight. According to Airbus Engineer Tom Wilson, the team was inspired by the albatross, which locks its wings at the shoulder in order to soar long distances, but can unlock them to maneuver or combat wind gusts. Made out of a combination of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRP), glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), additive layer manufacturing (ALM) and plywood, the scale model proof-of-concept recently took its first flight, and it was a success. The Albatros

One of the leading design firms Kartell and  Bio-on  have developed the world's first furniture made from BIO-ON's 100% natural, revolutionary bioplastic. The two companies are working together on a number of fronts. "Fully sustainable" edition of modular unit presented at Salone del Mobile already available to buy.  For Kartell, the way to offer more choices of materials to its customers and designers is through one of its most popular products. The company has chosen one of its signature best-sellers - the modular unit designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri in 1967 and, to mark its 50th anniversary, it will be on sale immediately in a totally eco-sustainable edition available in four colors, green, pink, cream and yellow, in the three-module version.  Kartell Chairman Claudio Luti says:  “Research is our mission and we continue to experiment to combine innovation and design. Holding firm our values and working on new and developing industrial proces

LyondellBasell   and Neste have jointly announced the first parallel production of bio-based polypropylene and bio-based low-density polyethylene at a commercial scale. The joint project used Neste's renewable hydrocarbons derived from sustainable bio-based raw materials, such as waste and residue oils. The project successfully produced several thousand tons of bio-based plastics which are approved for the production of food packaging and being marketed under Circulen and Circulen Plus, the new family of LyondellBasell circular economy product brands. PP & PE Polymers Derived from Renewable Sources "LyondellBasell has an innovative spirit that spans decades, and an achievement like this showcases concrete actions we are taking in support of a circular economy," said Richard Roudeix, LyondellBasell Senior Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins for Europe, Asia and International. "Through the use of renewable resources, we are contributing to the

Group of scientists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania have created biodegradable plastic , which decays in a compost bin in a couple of years. Bioplastic created at KTU is transparent and all the materials in its composition are suitable for contact with food. Globally, the amount of plastic produced in a year is roughly the same as the entire weight of humanity. Only 9 percent of it is recycled, and the rest is slowly degrading in the landfills. The plastic disintegration process takes from several hundred to a thousand of years; during the time plastic is disintegrating into microplastic particles, which get into the ground waters and from them – into our food and environment. It is estimated that by 2050 in our oceans there will be more plastic than fish. War with plastic waste is among the priorities of the current generation. The European Parliament has approved a law banning a wide-range of single-use plastic items, such as straws, cotton buds
