Hey all,
Just wanted to tell a cool story... that reminded me of our visit to SCION!
On my flight from LAX to Denver, I sat next to a man who was actually the first person to create a full copostable water bottle. The company he worked for is called BIOTA. The name is an acronym for "blame it on the altitude". The water that the company uses comes from one of the highest freshwater springs in Ouray, Colorado. The company uses Natureworks PLA (polylactic acid) as the base for their plastic.
As we saw at SCION, the plastics are completely degradable. The PLA's are corn-based in contrast to ordinary plastics which are petroleum-based, which are not degradable. These new plastics, break down in to water, carbon dioxide, and organic material.
