PANFLE.TO

(Ok, o vídeo é em alemão, então aqui vai:)

O que esses caras fazem é basicamente aproveitar uma substância que antes era descartada no processo de fabricação de papel. A 'lignina' é um polímero presente nas células das plantas, e agora ela é usada para produzir uma liga que repõe o plástico e, sim, é biodegradável como a madeira.

About:

A German company called TECNARO is responsible for manufacturing liquid wood. Liquid wood is an innovative material used to make a bioplastic that ismore eco-friendly than petroleum made plastics, which are non-biodegradable and can contain carcinogens and other toxic substances. The uses for TECNARO's innovative bioplastic could save money, fossil fuels and other natural resources.

In addition, Arboform can be artificially colored, but it will not turn white or transparent. It is also more eco-friendly to dispose of, "The disposal of Arboform® products is the same as for naturally grown wood, i.e. by decay or incineration. The quantity of CO2 pollutant emitted in the process is no more than what was previously fixed from the atmosphere by the plants while growing"

Muito bacana!
