A scientist in Mexico has developed an innovative biodegradable plastic made from nopal cactus juice, offering a renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. The material is created using sap extracted from the cactus, a plant long valued in Mexican agriculture and cuisine. Unlike conventional plastics, this cactus-derived material is non-toxic, fully biodegradable, and even edible under controlled conditions. It can naturally decompose without leaving behind harmful microplastics, address

A strange Mexican cactus can now be turned into biodegradable plastic bags. In the dry plains of Zacatecas, Mexico, researchers have developed a biodegradable plastic made entirely from the nopal cactus — a thick, spiny desert plant traditionally used in food and medicine. Using a cold-press method that extracts polysaccharides and mucilage from the cactus leaves, scientists have created a plastic that decomposes naturally within 30 days. Unlike bioplastics made from corn or starch, cactus-based
