Future plastics could be made out of sugar and carbon dioxide, making them harmless to the environment

(Natural News) The future looks brighter as researchers have discovered a way to create plastic that’s not harmful to nature. Scientists from the Centre of Sustainable Chemical Technologies (CSCT) at the University of Bath has successfully created a plastic material that doesn’t use highly toxic substances that could pose problems not only to the environment but also to our health. This biodegradable plastic will be made from sugar and carbon dioxide instead of crude oil and bisphenol-A (BPA) — a material banned from use in baby bottles — and phosgene, a highly toxic chemical that was even used as a weapon in World War I.

So if I leave them on the floor my dogs will chew them up to satisfy their "sweet tooth"?
