IISc researchers find a way to substitute for single-use plastics

According to a report by Central Pollution Control Board of India, for the year 20182019, 3.3 million metric tonnes of plastic waste are generated by Indians.
that of all the plastic waste produced in the world, 79% enters the environment. Only 9% of all plastic waste is recycled.
While plastic waste causes one type of pollution, agricultural stubble burning is responsible for air pollution in several States.
researchers developed polymers using nonedible oil and cellulose extracted from agricultural stubble.
These polymers can be moulded into sheets having properties suitable for making bags, cutlery or containers.
The material so made is biodegradable, leakproof and nontoxic.
Non-edible Castor oil was used in this process of making the polymer which involves allowing them to react with the cellulose and diisocyanate compound.
