Uzbek Scientists Create Biodegradable Film That Could Replace Plastic
Technology
Scientists in Uzbekistan have developed an innovative film made from local plants that looks and feels like polyethylene but is completely safe for the environment, breaking down easily in soil and water. This breakthrough could be a major step in reducing plastic waste and promoting a green economy.
Researchers at the Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, have created a fully biodegradable film based on water-soluble polysaccharides from local plants. It closely resembles conventional polyethylene in strength and appearance, but decomposes easily in soil and water without harming the environment.
The film's unique value lies in its potential use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Experts note that the use of local plant-based raw materials and environmental safety make this innovation particularly relevant.
According to scientists, addressing the problem of plastic waste is increasingly important worldwide, and the new film could make a significant contribution to developing a sustainable green economy in Uzbekistan.
