China has introduced a groundbreaking bamboo-based plastic that matches the strength and heat resistance of traditional petroleum plastics but fully biodegrades within just 50 days.

High-strength, multi-mode processable bamboo molecular bioplastic enabled by solvent-shaping regulation.

Created by scientists at Northeast Forestry University, the material derives its durability from bamboo cellulose while remaining completely non-toxic as it breaks down naturally in soil.

The research represents a major leap in sustainable materials science. With large-scale production, this bamboo plastic could soon replace conventional plastics in packaging, furniture, and electronics – offering a practical path toward a cleaner, plastic-free future. Click: Continue Reading
