A study in @NatureComms uses nanoscale assembly of water-insoluble plant proteins to make meter scale films with comparable properties to conventional plastics. go.nature.com/3ivRLvz
These materials will be commercialised by @XamplaUK, a @Cambridge_Uni spin-out developing replacements for single-use plastic and microplastics. Stay tuned for more updates!

We're proud that the process behind our material is now public!
We've created an entirely natural alternative to plastic with the same molecular properties as spiders' silk, meaning it breaks down in nature leaving nothing behind. #NextGeneration

By taking hints from spiders, a team from @ChemCambridge has developed a plant-based alternative to single-use plastics.
The first products should be available later this year from @XamplaUK: bit.ly/3548DBO

Most used plastic ends up in landfill or the environment. Wastewater, wind and rain carries plastic into drainage networks and rivers that then flow to the sea where it breaks down into microplastics lasting centuries.
We're working on a solution to #TakePlasticOut
