Plastics is a big problem in the world. Every year around 5 billion plastic bags are used. Due to this we decided to create our own bioplastics.
If this topic is interesting to you, then have a look at our blog:

*****

How we did it
So we made experiments to create our own  recipe to make a bio-degradeable plastic product.
Here is a version of the recipe:


8g Starch
1g NaCl
200 ml 1% Glycerin
20 g Cellulose


We mixed all the ingredients in one pot, boiled it. Then we poured the final mixture onto a plate, this was to allow it to cool to room temperature. This gave the mixture the plastic properties we were aiming for.



*****

STRENGTHS
Our product’s main advantage is that the bioplastic allows the oxygen to pass through it and that way, the candy keeps fresh for a long time


  • The bags are easy to transport    
  • The candy dispenser is reusable 
 WEAKNESSES


  • The thickness of the materials
  •  The plastic is not waterproof (could also be a strenght)
