Eco-friendly bio-glass has so far been largely unsustainable. The materials’ biomolecular makeup possesses poor thermal stability, and breaks down at the high temperatures usually required during glass production. By chemically altering the amino acids and peptides, however, the team created a novel version of natural glass that is far more durable than its predecessors. According to their findings, the new biomolecular glass is both impressively sustainable and recyclable, while also featuring many of the desired traits of standard glass products, including malleability and durability.
