Salmon sperm bioplastic cup, robots reproduce for first time, biobased fur and more: The Digest’s Top 8 Innovations for the week of December 10th

Not a topic The Digest usually covers, but let’s talk about sex like Salt-N-Pepa with the latest news that robots reproduced for the first time, thanks in part by the tiny organisms’ Pac-Man-like shape. Not only that, but news came in about the development of “the world’s most sustainable bioplastic” using “natural DNA” sourced by none other than salmon sperm.

In today’s Digest, it’s about sex and reproduction in a biobased world as well as biobased fur, a new biobased PET bottle in collaboration with Anellotech, and more hot innovations of the week.
