  2. ¿Os acordáis de que dije que iba a subir la recetina del biomaterial (bioplástico con almidón)?

    Pues aquí la tenéis, recién salida del horno para pasarla para hacer un taller en la escuelita la semana que viene 🤓

  7. 🎍International researchers have developed a method for making bamboo-based plastic which they say is strong enough to be used for industrial purposes but able to biodegrade in soil within 50 days

  8. Klinkt heel tof, maar feitelijk zetten ze voedsel om in verpakkingsmateriaal.
    We hébben veel landsbouwgrond, echter gebruiken we dat voor veeteelt en voedsel voor veeteelt.

  12. Beware of "compostable" products that aren't actually compostable at home. In digging through my compost pile this week I unearthed 3 forks (from takeout food I purchased several years ago) that I think were made by the California-based company, Karat Earth (aka Lollicup). On Amazon and elsewhere the sentence the company uses in marketing is "simply toss the fork into a compost bin when finished." And the forks themselves have the text, "compostable" embossed on them. On company's own website, however, is a logo from the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) indicating, in a small font, that forks are "commercially compostable only," which means they only begin to break down at ~190 °F (88 °C). Somebody needs to file a class-action lawsuit to force greater transparency on marketing materials. #compost #composting #fork #takeout #food #psa #plastic #restaurants #greenwashing #polymer #corn #bioplastic

  14. The Ultimate Guide to #PlasticFree Tea Bags UK

    Are your tea bags really plastic free and biodegradable?

    We investigate what makes a #tea bag #biodegradable and #plastic free. Yes, it’s confusing, because even when tea companies say their bags are ‘biodegradable’ or ‘plant-based’, it can still contain a type of #bioplastic (PLA)

  16. Any tips on making #3dprinting #bioplastic #PHA by fermentation #diy at home?

    I'm quite stuck in making #PLA at home from sourkraut, I'd need high purity sulfuric acid to actually get this lactic acid out of calcium lactate (egg shells + pickle juice). I might try using citric acid and heating that up. But if that doesn't work, PHA seems even better and more homebrewable.

    Anyways, making the #fff #fdm #filament using no paleotechnic products. That would be the most #solarpunk thing ever.

  18. If you want good policy, there's decades of actual literature from #PoliticalScience and #Economics on what actually works.

    You want less total plastic? Tax plastic by weight. Want fewer plastic items? Tax plastic by item. Want both? #Tax both.

    #PigouvianTaxes actually work!

    Tax #bioplastic _less_ than plastic. Because it actually causes less harm.

    You know what you can do with that money? Compensate #poor people who are disproportionally impacted by the tax. Though, say, #grocery #subsidies.

    I find it really hard to believe that our #politicians don't know any of this. I believe that, instead, the just care a ton more about the #optics of their policies than they care about the #environment or about #poverty.

    When #polemics substitutes for #policy it dooms us all.

    5/5
