We're proud that the process behind our material is now public!
We've created an entirely natural alternative to plastic with the same molecular properties as spiders' silk, meaning it breaks down in nature leaving nothing behind. #NextGeneration

By taking hints from spiders, a team from @ChemCambridge has developed a plant-based alternative to single-use plastics.
The first products should be available later this year from @XamplaUK: bit.ly/3548DBO

Most used plastic ends up in landfill or the environment. Wastewater, wind and rain carries plastic into drainage networks and rivers that then flow to the sea where it breaks down into microplastics lasting centuries.
We're working on a solution to #TakePlasticOut
