as for that plastic cutlery, let s pretend those bits never happened. but making plastic also requires fossilfuels, using as much oil as the world s aviation industry. so in finland, scientists are creating entirely new alternatives out of wood. it is similar to paper, made of sustainable wood fibres, it is made in paper machines, recyclable in paper recycling, but it performs similar to plastic. this is paptic, twice as strong as paper, but 50% thinner and water resistant. it can replace plastic bags, packaging for online shopping and food packets that don t need to be airtight. all thanks to some novel whipping tech. we can replace two thirds of water with air. the foam enables us to disperse the fibres much more efficiently and that helps us to simplify the process.
