IIT Madras Develops Waste-Based Packaging to Combat Plastic

Scientists at IIT Madras have created a new type of packaging from farm waste.

They used things like old plants and paper to grow a special material.

This new material is strong, but it also breaks down naturally, unlike plastic.

This is good because it helps fix two problems: too much plastic trash and what to do with farm leftovers.

The scientists hope it will make packaging that is better for the environment and cheaper too.
