My university did this:
A university in Kagawa is turning one of the prefecture's most famous foods into an unlikely new material, using discarded udon noodles to create biodegradable "paper". Researchers are using microorganisms to transform unwanted wheat noodles from local restaurants into thin sheets of cellulose with a texture similar to traditional Japanese…
This was a busy weekend. Nice, with so many nationalities, ages, backgrounds... Yet, a recorrent issue that put us writting again: https://www.bbcamping.eu/reflections/recycling-on-holiday-why-do-we-stop-sorting-waste-when-we-travel/

A NiB Onkyo 6 Disc CD changer
A top loading VCR

Swiss cleantech startup GR3N has raised €15.5 million in a Series B round to build the world’s first commercial-scale microwave-assisted PET recycling plant.
