Re:How biodegradable & more ways to create plastic

On: Grow Your Own Plastic

I believe "plastic" was used in the physical sense of the word, as in "not elastic". What you get is similar in physical properties to petro-plastic (capable of being molded and formed) , but is not based on hydrocarbons.

Presumably, the latter is what allows it to be biodegradable. Doesn't sound like we'll have petrochemical-producing plants any time soon; but if all you want is fuel, let's just make more booze!
