Paques Biomaterials maakt echt afbreekbaar bioplastic uit afvalwater
Bacteriën in afvalwater die op natuurlijke wijze bioplastic maken, dat na gebruik weer helemaal afgebroken wordt in de natuur door diezelfde bacteriën.
Het Friese Paques Biomaterials wil er de markt voor alternatieven voor fossiel plastic mee veroveren.

With the reduced use of #oil for fuel, fossil plastic #petroparticles will become even more competitive compared to #bioplastic (which is not any better anyway). The #fossil industry is preparing for this, building capacity to churn out more garbage to drown the world in.
PS. Very recommended reading:
Tells, among other, how tyre microplastics kill coho salmon.

Starch-based straws. Doesn't get soggy quickly like the paper straws.
On the left, probably cornstarch PLA. At an open air restaurant where the family are regulars for dinner. #bioplastic #BiodegradablePlastic
The purple straw in the picture on the right is made of #rice and completely edible, in my coffee from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

I should add that I'm still on holiday in #Malaysia - I haven't seen these in Melbourne yet.

Influenced by her childhood at the beach + her frustration with packaging materials, #designer Julia Marsh founded #Sway, a team of material engineers, supply chain enthusiasts, product designers, and #environmentalists who are researching how to transform #seaweed into a #compostable #bioplastic.

So I decided to look up shellac after watching a few videos by youtube craftsmen #clickspring. He often uses it in many of his projects. Shellac is such a versitile lacquer and comes from bug excretions. So its earth friendly and can be touched up years later. If I ever need to do wood work or refinish furnature im seriously going to consider using it.
