The Huffington Post reported that Pontus Trenkquist, a student at Lund University in Sweden, managed to make a material similar to plastic with potato starch.
Trenquist participated in the James Dyson Design Competition with a knife and fork made of Potato Plastic. The student said that the material will decompose in just two months. Only water and starch are used in potato plastics. The Swedes claim to be able to make utensils and cutlery from this material.
Students from all over the world participated in the competition and they provided various solutions to solve the current problems in the world. In addition to "Potato Plastic", a robot was also shown in the competition, which purifies the lake seven times faster than people. The winner will be announced in November and he will receive £30,000 for further development of the winning project.
According to experts, there are about 8 tons of plastics in the world's oceans, and the food industry is one of the main sources of such pollution.
