Scientists racing to tackle plastic pollution have created a surprising new contender: a biodegradable packaging film made partly from milk protein. Researchers at Flinders University blended calcium caseinate with starch and natural nanoclay to form a thin, durable material designed to mimic everyday plastic. In soil tests, the film fully broke down in about 13 weeks, pointing to a realistic alternative for single-use food packaging.
That has to be the first non-vegan fork ever made.
Typical vegan, thinking that petroleum based is better than animal based.
Didn’t say it was, also I’m not a vegan. But you do realize there are options that are neither petroleum nor animal-based?
No, I wasn’t targetting you, even remotely. Was just pissed at how polyurethane is often marketted as “vegan leather” despite being more environmentally destructive than the usual cow leather.
