Scientists racing to tackle plastic pollution have created a surprising new contender: a biodegradable packaging film made partly from milk protein. Researchers at Flinders University blended calcium caseinate with starch and natural nanoclay to form a thin, durable material designed to mimic everyday plastic. In soil tests, the film fully broke down in about 13 weeks, pointing to a realistic alternative for single-use food packaging.
You don’t have to raise cows to have milk, you can literally use the same fiber (Soy, Hemp) to use industrially to make this plastic
Just because it says ‘milk’ doesn’t mean ‘dairy’
Except they’re using casein, which does mean ‘dairy.’
It said milk protein, they were specifically talking about dairy milk, and not soy protien
