Bio-plastics made from orange peel and CO2

Scientists have discovered a way to make plastics from orange peel, using the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide as a catalyst.
The team hopes CO2 could one day be collected for making more plastics instead of being pumped into the atmosphere.
This is great news, since it becomes clear that more and more petro-based plastics can be replaced by biopolymers.
If peak oil ever arrives, then the plastics industry won’t have to fear too much, since there are more and more renewable substitutes being discovered at a high tempo.
