Bacteria, electricity, and wood waste used to create greener nylon

Nylon can be found everywhere in modern life, from the clothes we wear to the seatbelts in our cars. The problem is that producing it can be a dirty business, but researchers say a new method can make nylon production significantly greener.Continue Rea… Continue reading Bacteria, electricity, and wood waste used to create greener nylon
