In a recent paper in the Chemical Engineering Journal, Penn State University researchers detail new nanotechnology to separate neodymium found in electronic waste using plant cellulose, which is found ...

A large-scale fabrication of cellulose glitter has been developed which is biodegradable and plastic-free, meaning the shiny stuff can be made from your fruit bowl! It’s that time of year again when ...

Researchers at IIT Kharagpur have developed cellulose nano-crystals from cucumber peels, raising the possibility to create environment-friendly food packaging materials in future. While single-use ...

Scientists say they are closing in on a cool solution to a sticky problem. They've found that adding tiny cellulose fibers extracted from banana plant waste to ice cream could slow melting, increase ...

Why isn't ethanol production growing by leaps and bounds in the face of higher gasoline prices? Ethanol production from cornstarch is a $10 billion dollar business in the United States and 4 billion ...

Cellulose gum is considered a fairly safe food additive. It doesn’t have any nutritional value or health benefits, but it can be a very useful addition to all kinds of products. Before we get into the ...

While single-use plastic is being mostly avoided by environmentally conscious consumers, but such type of polymers still remain in circulation as food packaging items. Researchers at IIT Kharagpur ...
