The abstract of an April 9, 2022 article in iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry https://iforest.sisef.org/abstract/?id=ifor4021-015 by researchers with Switzerland WSL Swiss Federal Research Institute and others reports that “… we investigate nanoplastic uptake in the roots of seedlings … of three different tree species and assess their transport to different tissues … [Our research] indicates that nanoplastic particles can be taken up through tree roots into the tree’s central cylinder, where they are subsequently conveyed through the tree by acropetal transport via the xylem …” #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #MicroPlastic #NanoPlastic @WSL_research
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).
