Belarushas introduced disposable eco-friendly cups.
Finding the Future in Collaboration: Inexpensive Packaging Shaking Up the Industry
In a groundbreaking move, the Institute of New Materials Chemistry, Institute of Microbiology, and the Belarusian State Medical University have teamed up to create an affordable alternative to traditional packaging materials.
Instead of relying on costly pure polylactic acid, they've chosen a less expensive option: common paper with a thin layer of polylactic acid for waterproofing, strength, and heat-sealing properties akin to polyethylene, but minus its harmful drawbacks.
This innovative material is currently undergoing rigorous safety tests. With promising results, it could soon be used not just for cups but an array of packaging types.
