US RESEARCHERS DEVELOP BIODEGRADABLE SUBSTITUTES FOR WOOD, PLASTIC BOTTLES....

摘要

Faux lumber can be made from a new biodegradable plastic that could be used in a variety of building materials and perhaps replace the petrochemical plastics now used in billions of disposable water bottles.rnPhysOrg reports that in 2004, researchers were awarded a two-year Environmental Venture Projects (EVP) grant from Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment to develop artificial wood that is both durable and recyclable.
