Chinese researchers create BM-plastic from bamboo cellulose—strong, biodegradable, and sustainable.
A bamboo-based plastic developed by Chinese researchers offers a strong, durable, and fully biodegradable alternative to conventional plastics.
Made from bamboo cellulose using a sustainable process, the material, called BM-plastic, matches or exceeds the strength and heat resistance of common plastics like ABS and PLA.
It biodegrades in soil within about 50 days, retains up to 90% of its strength after recycling, and withstands extreme conditions.
Priced at around $2,300 per ton, it uses abundant, non-food bamboo and reusable chemicals, making it a promising solution for reducing plastic pollution and fossil fuel dependence in industries like construction and automotive.
