The material is a type of highly reinforced lignocellulose biocomposite, which has been found to have much higher mechanical properties than analogs in the literature
“No one has been able to make a degradable plastic with fiber content this high before, while having good dispersion and low fiber damage,” says Peter Olsén to kth.se.
