A greener alternative to plastics: liquid wood

A greener alternative to plastics: liquid wood















Some time ago I remember some company creating plastic like bench tops from waste cardboard. I have been trying to find the companies site again but to no avail. Though when you do go on the search for interesting things you reveal even more interesting things. Here is "liquid wood" a process for producing a plastic material from lignin. This isn't that surprising though. Casein plastic is made from milk so why not a wood plastic. I wonder if you can add it to your compost?
