Scientists in Singapore are tackling food waste by turning discarded durian husks into antibacterial gel bandages.

Cellulose powder is extracted to make ‘soft hydrogel’ which is cut into antibacterial gel bandage strips. The moisture retained in the strips keeps wounds cooler and moist which can accelerate healing

Researchers say they’re cheaper to make than conventional bandages. This technology can also turn other food waste into hydrogel such as soybeans and spent grains.
