Reusable bags made from vegetable starch
I read that someone made a new type of plastic out of fish skin and elsewhere someone had developed a polymer from vegetable starch. Couldn’t someone make “plastic” bags out of them – so they biodegrade?

Fish skin bags can be made already – when will the shops start using them? That’s a different question, and problem … “From bags to single-use packaging, MarinaTex has a variety of different applications. The transparent film is well suited for packaging and will biodegrade in a soil environment. The organic formula does not leach harmful chemicals and can be consumed, causing no harm to wildlife or humans.”

(20 upvotes)Amazing, she deserves a knighthood for this. Where can corporations buy this stuff? Please add the link.
Here’s the link to the site, not sure if you can buy it though. Will add the link to the idea too. It’s bound to be the answer to lots of eco problems faced by big businesses.
