How Western-made materials for cigarettes wind up in Russian missiles that strike Ukraine
An investigation by the StateWatch think tank and United24 Media reveals how cellulose acetate produced by the European company Cerdia is funneled through intermediaries in the tobacco sector, ultimately reaching a Russian factory critical for the production of Kalibr cruise missiles.

Esto es muy grande!!!
The government of Galicia (Spain) just canceled the authorization of the *huge* industrial cellulose plant Altri! This is the result of continuous mobilizations by the local communities and environmentalists from the whole country.
A huge win!

Revue de presse : quand la cellulose conjugue les plastiques au passé et au futur
Des chercheurs japonais ont mis au point un plastique biodégradable à base d’éther de cellulose et de chlorure de choline.
University of Waterloo: New ‘hydrogel’ makes personal hygiene products greener. “Plant-based material developed by Waterloo researchers absorbs like commercial plastics used in products like disposable diapers – but breaks down in months, not centuries.”

Techspot: These paper batteries made from plants want to replace AA and AAA cells. “The chemical reaction depends on water-based electrolytes mixed with food-safe minerals such as zinc and manganese. The result is a fully non-toxic, biodegradable cell that avoids the pollution risks and waste-handling challenges of current battery technology.”
