I dont care about the sunflower, but bio-degradable plastic is very good news.

Yeah. Very little interest in this particular application of the new plastic, but the plastic itself sounds amazing. Curious to find out if creating it has more/less/same impact on the environment as current plastics, though (emissions during production, etc).

But that sounds awesome.

You'd think those scientists from Amsterdam would have made it grow something a bit more interesting ;-)
