Bioplastics and other innovations against climate change | DW Documentary
Flooding caused by heavy rainfall is a regular occurrence — and a consequence of climate change. Weather extremes are no longer limited to certain parts of the world: they’re now part of everyday life in Germany too. Researchers from various disciplines are determined to fight climate change. At Kassel University in the German state of Hesse, for example, research is being carried out on a new method of producing concrete that is low in CO2 emissions. In the neighboring city of Giessen, two researchers invented bioplastic – by chance. What began with a forgotten petri dish is now set to revolutionize the region’s packaging industry. All these examples show how science is working hard to protect the climate. The film takes viewers into the laboratory — and explains the relevance of today’s research for how we’ll be living our lives tomorrow. #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs #climatechange #bioplastics We kindly ask viewers to read and stick to the DW netiquette policy on our channel: https://p.dw.com/p/MF1G Credit to : DW Documentary
