Sustainable DNA-polysaccharide hydrogels as recyclable bioplastics

Abstract Traditional petrochemical-derived plastics are challenging to recycle and degrade, and the existing (re)process methods are organic solvent-based and/or energy-intensive, resulting in significant environmental contamination and greenhouse gas emissions. This study presents a sustainable bio...
