Ingeo Biopolymer - It's cool!


Here's a material you all might be interested in...Ingeo Biopolymer! It can be ordered through suppliers, via the old-fashioned method of calling in and placing an order with a real human being. Archaic, right?

But the company claims it has engineered a polymer that can stand against the more hazardous, barely biodegradable versions that have been commonly used in the past. There are clear and opaque versions, both of which are availible for sale as pellets for melting. The melted polymer must then be used with an injection mold.

Though I haven't used this material myself, it may interest others in the class. The site does give samples of products already on the market that use their polymer.

Enjoy! The link is below.
