Bioplastic doesn't take away food from people. That so many people lack enough food is a system failure. All 7 billion people can stand in an area the size of Los Angeles. 75% of Earth is the mostly unused sea. We can build kilometers up into the sky and kilometers down into Earth. Space is not an issue. Earth has a resource management problem - not a resource problem.

@greenplasticsnet one more question. If you can make clay out of newspaper wouldn't you be able to make a plastic out of newspaper?
-
@greenplasticsnet Thanks for your response. Also did you just use regular Red Mill Tapioca flour?
-
@o0konnichiwa0o No, starch is different from flour. you should be able to buy a product called "starch" at the store. Also, you will be able to wash the finished result but it will erode over time if exposed to moisture for long periods.

@VerschiedenesArts Glycerin from CVS works BUT be careful to not use too much! Most recipes call for a glycerin SOLUTION, which is a mix of pure glycerin with water. Check out our website for some more detailed articles about how to get the right proportions! If you use too much pure glycerin, it will end up gooey. :(

Maybe a stupid question, but since there a different types of glycerin would pure glycerin from CVS work? and Tapioca makes it clear right?

Don't you mean "flour"
and to make bioplastic it hast to be starch, after the making this the bioplastic is waterproof and you may wash it.

Is this eatable?

@poper343343 No, it's not edible and it won't dissolve in water. The process of cooking it really does "plasticize" it. It simply remains biodegradable over time when it's exposed to the elements.
