Abstract Synopsis

  • To combat marine pollution from single-use plastics, a new biodegradable material called transparent paperboard (tPB) has been developed from cellulose, making it recyclable and safe for the marine environment.
  • The tPB is unique in its ability to hold hot liquids without needing additional coatings, thanks to its strong wet tensile and thermal properties.
  • On-site testing has confirmed that tPB degrades effectively in various ocean depths, supporting its potential as a sustainable, fully circular material for future use.
