@kimlockhartga 🧵 There's a difference between science and "popular" stories about new stuff.
Most people don't know that plants contain #cellulose (yes, that stuff in wood or paper) and that in #mushroom packages are no #mushrooms!
The latter as an example: Mushrooms are fruits of a living creature (own kingdom, no plant, no animal). The creature itself is growing/rooting thanks to the #mycelium. And if you put the mycelium cells to a lab, you'll find Chitin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitin #Chitin is
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.”
https://rbfirehose.com/2026/01/12/university-of-waterloo-new-hydrogel-makes-personal-hygiene-products-greener/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.”
