ScienceTraditional plastic forks shed harmful microplastics. Sugar-based plastic offers an alternative
A laboratory in Massachusetts is turning pebble-sized pellets into forks and films designed not to leave microplastics in the environment. The material is made from bioplastic pellets. It is presented as an alternative to traditional plastic forks, which can shed harmful microplastics. The development focuses on creating plastic products from sugar while avoiding that environmental residue.
