A new bioplastic metafilm developed by an international team of scientists can passively cool surfaces by up to 9.2°C, reflecting almost 99% of the sun's rays. This sustainable material, made from plant-derived bioplastic, could reduce building energy consumption by 20% annually in hot cities, offering a green alternative to air conditioning and contributing to sustainable development.
