.” 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.

It is against this backdrop, APRIL has also been trying to turn around its reputation for environmental destruction, pollution, and land disputes. APRIL has funded several greenhouse gas monitoring towers to the tune of $1m each, where scientists have been mapping seasonal changes in methane and carbon emissions from the forest.
