Listening to a Bioneers talk on Village900 radio we hear about a company, Novomer, that has discovered how to make plastics from CO2 greenhouse gas - recycled CO2. How amazing is that! That’s the sort of thing that ‘Nature’ evolves: CO2 is used by plants to make food - a ‘poison’ recycled. The question being: is this plastic useable in the areas that we actually need plastics - medicine for one (artificial limbs, heart valves, hip joints)? Biodegradeable plastic will be of no use in plastic that is meant to last a lifetime.
