Researchers have found that instead of going into garbage , crab shells could be going into a new form of biodegradable packaging . According to J. Carson Meredith, one of the project’s participating researchers and a professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, the product the team is working on is remarkably similar in texture and appearance to the common petroleum-derived plastic used in soda bottles and potato chip bags—and it might even work better at keeping food fresh.
