A student from the University of Sussex in England develops a plastic substitute from fish waste
BRIGHTON, England - A 23-year-old Briton has cooked up a compostable compound she hopes will one day replace much single-use plastic - and its main ingredient is byproducts of the fishing industry.
“It was me trying to work out how I could use that waste stream and add value to that waste,” Hughes told Reuters. “Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers when nature has so many already available?” she added. “It’s not necessarily plastic that’s the problem... It’s our overuse of, for example, single-use plastics that might be used for only 10 to 15 seconds before we then have to throw that away,” Hughes said.
