As a basic food in the Asian diet，soybeans（大豆）have been used to make tofu and soy milk for hundreds of

years．But now，they are also being turned into an alternative to plastic wrap．

William Chen，a professor of foodscience and technology at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University，invented the environmentally﹣friendly food wrap．It's made of cellulose（纤维素），a form of fiber，obtained from

the waste generated by soy bean product producers．The beans are pressed tosqueeze out juice that's used to

make tofu and soy milk．And what's left is usually thrown away，but Chen takes the waste and puts it through a

fermentation（发酵）process，during which cellulose is produced．

Cellulose﹣based plastic wraps have been on the market for a few years，but Chen says that most are made

from wood or corn，grown for that purpose．By contrast，his wrap is made from a waste product，which doesn't

compete with other crops for land and is more sustainable．Chen's technology could help to solve two problems at

once：cutting plastic production and reducing the amount of food waste．"In Singapore，the amount of food waste

generated every year could fill up 15，000 Olympic﹣sized swimming pools，" Chen says．

F&N，a soy﹣based drinks producer，has partnered with Chen's lab and provides the product，straight from

the factory．The company is conducting a study to assess whether the food wrap could complete commercially

with conventional products．Chen adds，"The soy﹣based wrap costs almost nothing to makein the lab because the raw materials are free．Commercial production would involve additional expenses，such as storage and quality

control，however，we have not calculated those costs yet．"

Chen hopes neighboring soy﹣loving countries will be inspired bySingapore to adopt his innovation．"My

dream is that our technology，which is cheap and simple，will cut plastic and food waste and create a cleaner

environment，" Chen says．

4. What is the second paragraph mainly about？

A. The introduction to William Chen．

B. The process of producing soy milk．

C. The way to make soy﹣based wrap．
