Scientists are transforming one of humanity’s oldest essentials — paper — by replacing tree-based pulp with grass fibers. Unlike traditional paper production, which depends on trees, intensive water use, and chemical bleaching, grass paper cuts water consumption by up to 99% and needs little to no chemicals, making it a far more sustainable alternative.

Because grass regenerates within weeks instead of decades, it can be harvested repeatedly without deforestation — helping preserve biodiversity, cut carbon emissions from logging, and protect vital forests. The process also uses less energy, further shrinking the environmental footprint of papermaking.

The result is durable, versatile grass paper, fit for books, packaging, and office supplies. In Europe, several pilot projects are already rolling out grass-based packaging for food and consumer goods. Businesses benefit by aligning with eco-friendly goals, while consumers gain greener everyday choices.

This innovation could redefine the global paper industry, proving that even everyday products can be reinvented for a sustainable future. By shifting from trees to grass, we move closer to saving forests while meeting global demand.

The Insulin plant (Costus igneus) is not used in the manufacturing of medical insulin.

Here’s the clarification:

🔹 What Medical Insulin Is

Insulin used for diabetes patients is a hormone produced by the pancreas.

In medicine, it is manufactured through biotechnology:

Earlier: extracted from animal pancreas (pigs, cows).

Now: produced using recombinant DNA technology (genetically engineered bacteria/yeast).

🔹 What the Insulin Plant Does

The leaves of the insulin plant contain natural compounds (like corosolic acid, flavonoids, and antioxidants).

These help in lowering blood sugar levels naturally, but it is not actual insulin.

So, the plant acts like a natural blood sugar regulator, not a source for insulin extraction.

✅ In short:

Insulin Plant = Herbal remedy for diabetes (helps manage sugar levels).

Medical Insulin = Biotechnologically produced hormone (used in injections).
