Can bioplastics and wood replace plastic?
Humans have become dependent on plastic – a material with unique properties. At the same time, littering and the spread of microplastics have become an increasingly big problem. Can plastic be replaced with another material and how much better is plastic produced from biomaterials compared to fossil raw materials? New episode of SSF’s podcast Om Vetenskap!
Guests: Eva Malmström, professor of surface treatment technology at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Emma Strömberg, associate professor and researcher on polymeric materials at the Swedish Environmental Institute, IVL and Maria Gunther, science editor at Dagens Nyheter.
Host: Sofie Pehrsson
