Safflower oil hailed by scientists as possible recyclable, biodegradable replacement for petroleum.

Australian scientists may have achieved a decades-long quest to find a plant-based alternative to petroleum-based engine oils, one that can be recycled, reused and breaks down in the environment.

The first commercial field trials have now been harvested at a range of sites, from northern New South Wales to southern Victoria.
