According to an April, 2020 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland news release https://www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-ideas/new-solution-capture-microplastics-they-enter-waterways “… A method developed at VTT utilises nanocellulose structures for early particle identification. Nanocellulose would allow particles to be captured even before they enter waterways. The properties of nanocellulose films and hydrogels support the identification and capture of very small microplastic particles … The next step could be to develop new and inexpensive filtration solutions utilising the method … we could develop filtration methods for any industry where there is a risk of microplastics being generated and released into waterways …” #MicroPlastic NanoPlastic #PlasticWaste
Animal Digestible Food Packaging Initiative
Our reason-for-being/goal/purpose/objective/intent is to convince/inspire/persuade/encourage the food processing industry to establish and fund a public private partnership for the discovery of new food packaging materials that would be digestible by animals (farm animals as well as ubiquitous microbes).
