Bio-on: Apagar los plásticos
Este proyecto pretende ser una alternativa al plástico
Este proyecto presenta bolsos bioplásticos a base de gelatina, con los que se experimenta y explora creando diferentes texturas. Se ha utilizado una amplia gama de colores orgánicos. A partir de diferentes fórmulas, se produce artesanalmente bioplástico de almidón y gelatina y se evalúa variando las propiedades del biopolímero producido. Se ha experimentado con distintos tipos de almidón, extraídos de recursos naturales como el maíz, el trigo, el maíz, el arroz y la patata. Se prueban y son seguros para el ser humano y el medio ambiente.
