A research team has turned underused rapeseed-processing residues into a biodegradable active film designed to protect fresh food while reducing reliance on petroleum-based packaging. The material combines chitosan (CS) with phenolic extracts from rapeseed cake, flowers, stems, and leaves, together with biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). This combination strengthens the film, improves resistance to water, oxygen, and UV light, and adds antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

A new process could turn unsorted plastic waste into clean hydrogen while locking away most of its carbon.
Plastic is found throughout modern life, from water bottles and shopping bags to vehicle dashboards. Once these products are thrown away, however, they become extremely difficult to recycle. Conventional recycling often requires workers or machines to separate plastics by type, adding expense and complexity to the process.
The Coca-Cola Company has unveiled a new global visual identity system that reinforces its iconic brand assets while introducing a unified packaging and design language across more than 200 markets.
