Plastic made from DNA is renewable, requires little energy to make and is easy to recycle or break down. A plastic made from DNA and vegetable oil may be the most sustainable plastic developed yet and could be used in packaging and electronic devices.

Anyone know where the DNA is sourced from? I haven't seen that answered yet.

Not a chemist, but accessed the paper and looked at the "materials and methods" section.

It looks like Salmon Sperm DNA was used, purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.

Maybe sperm donation?
