Pakistani research draws bioplastic from mango kernels
Dr Anjum Nawab, a Pakistani scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of Karachi, announced yesterday that he had generated a bioplastic using the mango pit. The bioplastic obtained is easily degradable and does not pose any threat to the environment, marine and plant ecosystems. In an interview with a private national TV, Nawab said “Pakistan is at the top in the world for mango production, which is why my research had a conservative approach. I wanted to exploit a subject… Read more
