Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.

A new method to make lignin, a renewable material, more profitable. Lignin is a natural polymer that gives plants their strength and rigidity. It is also a byproduct of the paper and biofuel industries but has low value and limited applications. Researchers from Finland have developed a new method to convert lignin into high-value chemicals, such as vanillin and phenol. #lignin #biomaterials #greenchemistry https://phys.org/news/2023-07-lignin-method-renewable-material-profitable.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Seaweed is a nutritious food and a potential material for sustainable fashion. A new project aims to create biodegradable fabrics from seaweed fibres that can replace synthetic textiles. This means that seaweed could help reduce the fashion industry's environmental impact and promote a circular economy.

Norwegian marine biomaterials company Epax achieved 96.7% circularity last year, transforming almost all byproducts from the manufacture of its marine oil ingredients into other products, such as animal feed, fertilizer, and biogas.
The company is committed to reaching 98% circularity by the end of the year.

Now, a Korea Institute team have developed a temperature sensitive hydrogel that induces growth factors and cellular regeneration and biodegrades afterwards.
