yard waste plastic, biodegradable plastic, oil based plastic, eco friendly plastic, environmentally friendly plastic, green plastic, plant based plastic, natural plastic
In an effort to make plastics more environmentally friendly, a group of
researchers at the University of Florida has found a way to make
plastics from yard waste. Traditional plastics are made from oil and r
ecently some companies have been making plastic out of food products
— like cane sugar and corn starch. If this new yard waste plastic product
were to become feasible on a large scale we could all see our grass
clippings carted away by some company, only to return to us as the
receptacle holding our organic yogurt. Oh the excitement of closed-loop
systems!
