German scientists finally made a biodegradable plastic.

I didn't read most of the article because I'm a jackass.

So, based off of wood pulp. Does that mean that this plastic is made from... trees? Wouldn't that would basically be switching from one non-renewable resource to another (Kinda. Trees grow back but c'mon)?

It can also be recycled like some plastics, but it has the benefit of being less/non toxic to the environment should it end up in landfill.

Well one of the main compounds is a waste of the paper industry so it's to a point "making something awesome out of junk" plus I'm sure after a bit more research they can maybe (If they're not already able to) use bamboo, which is growing pretty fast.

And even if not, it's still better than oil.

But the people of the future are dependent on the plastic we put in the land fill. big grin

This could be true to a point.

We need DDM in here to rule on if this is useless or not.

Trees grow back very quickly compared to oil. The fact that a tree can grow to useable size in a decade or so is the basis of the entire modern logging industry.

Carbon nanotubes could be used to make materials that are super strong and biodegrade harmlessly. This is area of research is useless, they should be developing memristors.

But trust the Germans to make plastic more efficient.

No they didn't, in that case the usage is short for "begets the question".

Short for? They cut the letters "ets"? But of course!

IBM also has a 20 point evaluation check-list. You can do your own analysis, quite easily, and then tell us if it is useful or not.

Awwwww, are you butthurt because I pointed out the obvious? sad

Maybe you could check on that superstrong material for your Dyson Spheres?



BTW, memristors are useful (fully workable circuits with measurable response times, etc.) and will be hitting the market in a couple of years. HP greenlit the project for "production-level" memristors. Can't say the same of your precious phospholipid photovoltaic cells. laughing

Why do people keep bringing "Carbon friggin nano tubes" into scientific discussions? big grin

I don't know... except apparently people who specialize in phospholipids are supposed to work on designing them, even when it's out of their field.

Wood is a liquid timber of the consolidation of the deep penetration that regenerates rotten, dried or spongy wood by restoring structural strength and integrity of the wood fibers. Although it has proved extremely useful in the modern world, plastic still has a number of negative points.With LiquidWood sale, a damaged piece of wood that could crumble under finger pressure can be impregnated and delivered on rigid, durable water and stronger than the original.

Yeah, besides, certain trees grow quite fast, assuming they don't need to be fully grown adult trees to extract the substance needed.
