Pine sap–based plastic: A potential gamechanger for future of sustainable materials

Over the past 100 years, plastics and polymers have changed the way the world operates, from airplanes and automobiles to computers and cell phones—nearly all of which are composed of fossil fuel-based compounds. A Florida State University research team
Over the past 100 years, plastics and polymers have changed the way the world operates, from airplanes and automobiles to computers and cell phones—nearly all of which are composed of fossil fuel-based compounds. A Florida State University research team's discovery of a new plastic derived from pine sap has the potential to be a gamechanger for new sustainable materials.
