In Switzerland, they created eco-plastic from plant waste.

The heat-resistant and durable material is made from inedible parts of plants and is suitable for the production of food packaging, 3D printing filaments and fabric fibers. The new plastic is as strong as PET thanks to lignin, a biopolymer that makes up the stiff walls of plant cells. The material can be heated up to +100 °C, it does not pass oxygen and steam. Ecoplastic is recycled chemically or breaks down into sugars in the natural environment.
