Hafiz Husnain<p>🌍 Published ! Our article explores strategic solutions to combat water pollution caused by plastics. With global plastic production at 330B tons/year, we need urgent action via bioplastics, biodegradation &amp; policy reform. 🌊💡<br>🔗 <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-52395-4_3" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-5239</span><span class="invisible">5-4_3</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlasticPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticPollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WaterCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bioplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bioplastics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microplastics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Research</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EnvironmentalImpact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalImpact</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EcoFriendly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EcoFriendly</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MarinePollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarinePollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CleanWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CleanWater</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateAction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GreenTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CircularEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CircularEconomy</span></a></p>

Helen Czerski<p>Regular reminder: "bioplastics" are NOT better for the environment, and "biodegradable" plastics don't biodegrade unless they're in an industrial composter. The focus needs to be on reducing unnecessary plastic use, and closing the loop on everything else. Making plastic out of corn/bamboo instead really doesn't help. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ocean</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pollution</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Bioplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bioplastics</span></a> See here for more:<br><a href="https://hakaimagazine.com/news/dont-overestimate-bioplastics-benefits/?omhide=true&amp;utm_source=Hakai+Magazine+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=18b87df7a5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06_COPY_03&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_0fc1967411-18b87df7a5-121628661" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hakaimagazine.com/news/dont-ov</span><span class="invisible">erestimate-bioplastics-benefits/?omhide=true&amp;utm_source=Hakai+Magazine+Weekly&amp;utm_campaign=18b87df7a5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06_COPY_03&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_0fc1967411-18b87df7a5-121628661</span></a></p>

Can I make my used coffee grounds, some corn starch, etc into stuff? I mean, probably not the grounds, but maybe finer material?</p>
