FAMU-FSU researchers create recyclable plastics from CO2 and lignin, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and plastic waste.
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have developed eco-friendly, recyclable plastics made from carbon dioxide (CO2) and lignin, a wood component and low-cost byproduct of paper manufacturing and biofuel production. Their research, published in Advanced Functional Materials, converts CO2 into a raw material for degradable polymers, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing plastic waste issues.
