Scientists develop method to create biodegradable nylon using solar energy and biomass, reducing plastic pollution.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have created a method to produce biodegradable nylon using artificial photosynthesis, which converts biomass compounds into nylon precursors. This sustainable approach uses solar energy and renewable resources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and helping to combat plastic pollution. The development, published in Sustainable Energy & Fuels, could lead to eco-friendly alternatives in textiles and packaging.
