According to an October 29, 2020 Rice University news release university scientists have developed a process for the manufacture of flash graphene from post-consumer plastic which is “… mixed with carbon black and processed into turbostratic graphene via timed pulses of AC and DC electricity … The products are high-quality turbostratic graphene, a valuable and soluble substance that can be used to enhance electronics, composites, concrete and other materials … carbon oligomers, molecules that can be vented away from the graphene for use in other applications …” and hydrogen – The researchers are “… working to refine the flash graphene process for other materials, especially for food waste …” – The web link to the news release is included in the post on the home page of Plastic Food Packaging Waste News www.pfpw.news at https://lnkd.in/dbrJkbD#PlasticWaste#SingleUsePlastic#Graphene#RiceUniversity #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #Graphene #RiceUniversity
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).
