.” The biopolymers are combined with graphene, a variant of carbon (or allotrope , to be precise) whose modern rediscovery and isolation at the University of Manchester in 2004 led to a Nobel Prize. In addition, some bioplastics produce methane gas when they decompose, a compound with a global warming potential 25 times that of CO2.

Several light hydrocarbons, such as methane, ethane and propane, are VOCs. Especially methane is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change. Why VOC emissions should be reduced. VOCs are a large group of organic compounds. Due to high vapor pressure, VOCs can easily evaporate.

Since graphene was discovered in 2004, demand for the material has skyrocketed thanks to its remarkable physical qualities. And that transformation may no longer be a fantasy. Researchers at Rice University have devised a technique that seems akin to modern-day alchemy for making graphene from garbage.
