Plastic Made From Corn

Dekaner writes "A major supplier of plastic products in the U.S. will soon open a new factory that makes products from corn. The Cargill Dow factory in Blair, Nebraska will convert corn into a biodegradable substance called NatureWorks PLA. It will be used to make soft-drink cups, salad containers and to fill pillows and comforters. The corn-derived polymer will compete directly with products made from petroleum."

Now when you find corn kernels floating around in your toilet, you'll have to try to remember when you last ate corn or plastic. Too much to think about when most folks are on the toilet.
