Future Bioplastic concept
Bioplastic that suits the concept
For the concept I will use the outcome recipe of Mold 2:
Which will be the gelatine recipe with some perfume added to cover the smells of the gelatine. You can find the process and recipe here:
page7 - Coronaweek Transforming: Molding and Casting with BioplasticsWhy this bioplastic?
This bioplastic is really firm, but also a little flexible. It really looks like plastic and feels like plastic. It can handle a little water and UV lighting.

Concept
You might have heared it in the interviews, but I think the material is perfect for bioplastic lids and covers for temporary packed products. The bioplastic is suitable for re-use, for recycling and to get lost in nature (not prefered).
It's firm and flexible. So you could stack a few packages on each other and you can remove the lid/cover with a little bending.
The packaging will be really suitable for companies like Albert Heijn To Go, which are already aware of the plastic soup situation:
