Year 12 Students Pioneer Biopolymer Innovation: Transforming Potatoes into Sustainable Plastics!

Students in Year 12 have been exploring the use of biopolymers in everyday life and in industry.  Here we have our MGGS product designers manufacturing their very own biopolymer from potatoes.  The starch provides a natural, biodegradable substance that when mixed with an acid, a plasticiser and a stabiliser, gives you your very own potato plastic!
