I challenged myself with bioplastics because I needed a lot of research and time to complete the task. Also, I needed to be open to new ideas and make the plastics myself. I chose this challenge because it seemed hard but attainable, and the project was interesting. My goal was to find out which starch was better: potato or corn. I mainly focused on creating the bioplastics themselves. My plan was to find sources online to help make the best bioplastic. I procrastinated a lot, but when I finally got to it, the project ran pretty smoothly. Getting materials was very difficult.
I learned that for more disposable, cheeper items, corn starch was better to use, especially because it was cheeper. Potato starch was better for thicker, more durable items.
If I could do this project again, I would have done it much faster.
The next thing for me to do is to find ways to make useful items out of bioplastics.
