Olive Pits Could Help Replace Plastic. Turkish scientists may have created a product that could replace disposable plastic, from a renewable source, olive pits.
According to researchers, just one kilogram of this bioplastic, which is already being used in electronics and food packaging, reduces carbon dioxide emissions by six kilograms. If implemented on a larger scale, the innovation could significantly help in the fight against plastic pollution.
Turkish entrepreneur Ms. Duygu Yılmaz researched olive seeds convert to powder and she created environmental plastic. Biolive named project first venture in the world.
Food packagings, refrigerators, floor materials, home appliances can produce with Bio-live additive by biodegradable and suitable for human health.
Yılmaz pointed out that they produce antibacterial plastics by converting the olive seeds produced as a waste from olive seeds factories into polymer structure by means of technology, “The plastic granules we produce can be used in industry, in packaging, in toys.
