This Mexican researcher has discovered a way to turn cactus leaves into a material with similar properties to plastic. It works like plastic but it's made from cactus and fish can eat it. Crucially, she says it's not toxic and is biodegradable.

How can we contact the researcher? I think if universities around the world can create partnerships with this innovators many projects can be develop more fast.

Whatever it is, it does not require cactus juice, just water.

Maybe white vinegar or more concentrated acetic acid.
