INDRESMAT is a chemical start-up at early stage that has designed an innovative and disruptive extrusion technology for processing of thermoset PUR (Polyurethane). This new technology will enable new products for construction & industrial markets to be used in applications with high technical requir more
Biodegradable plastics are very much on trend. But there are still very few sustainable alternatives for products containing foamed plastic. ETH Pioneer Fellow Zuzana Sediva is developing a process that could one day be used to make shoe soles and yoga mats from organic waste. Zuzana Sediva loves pi more
A new type of plastic made of reclaimed waste readily degrades in less than a year. The substance that will soon serve to manufacture and break down mainly disposable products in an ecofriendly way goes by the name of polyhydroxybutyrate. This material can be produced on an industrial scale in a new more
So-called “bioplastics” are marketed as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional, petroleum-based plastics. They can be made from renewable feedstock, might be bio-degradable or even both. The question is however if these biomaterials are safer than conventional plastics with regard t more
The valorization of vegetable waste can create opportunities to produce new valuable bioplastics. In this study, a one-step process to fully convert a variety of vegetable waste materials into bioplastic films is reported. The process is carried out in a diluted aqueous HCl solution at room temperat more

Abstract Functional bionanocomposites are developed from the assembly of naturally occurring polymers and inorganic solids that show at least one dimension at the nanoscale. Our research group focused on the development of bionanocomposites based on clay minerals, including smectites and fibrous more
