FAMU-FSU researchers find new CO2 and lignin process to produce bioplastics

April 15, 2024 |

In Florida, FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a potential alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastic that is made from carbon dioxide (CO2) and lignin, a component of wood that is a low-cost byproduct of paper manufacturing and biofuel production. Their research was published in Advanced Functional Materials. This study is the first to demonstrate the […]
