    After watching your video, I just have a few questions. I'm currently working on designing a biodegradable pop can, etc for a course and I noticed in one of the comments that water will degrade the plastic. How long does it take for the water to degrade the plastic? And is the plastic even safe to drink from? Thanks!

    This plastic is safe to drink from -- actually, it's even safe if you accidentally eat it!! -- and it won't degrade IMMEDIATELY. So you could, for example, use this kind of plastic to make some one-time use cups: the type you dispose of after you use them.

    However, this material is NOT heat resistant!! So do not put coffee or any hot liquid in them or they will collapse very quickly!

    The quality that you buy at any grocery store should be fine.

    Absolutely! They also qualify as "compostable".

    Doesn't the plastic smell like vinegar or something? And how long does it last?

    I'd love to try bioplastic to make soft fishing lures.

    Do you have a tipp on how to archieve a soft, wiggly consistency?
