Researchers Develop Sustainable Biomaterial from Shrimp Shells to Replace Plastics
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia in Barcelona have developed a new biomaterial derived from shrimp shells. This material, reinforced with nickel, mimics the functional properties of plastic while offering high resistance to water. The innovation is part of a broader effort to create sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics. The development of this biomaterial is seen as a potential breakthrough in the field of biological materials, aiming to reduce reliance on traditional plastics and mitigate environmental impact.
