Bioplastic pros and cons - Video

Just filed my article about Walmart's sustainability goals (and how it affects the chemical supply chain). Check that out on ICIS Chemical Business' May 10 issue. Now back to blogging!

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of green news out there trying to position themselves for Earth Day's 40th anniversary. I'll be busy scanning my Google reader and unread green emails for the weekend. But in the meantime, I saw this video tweeted by the American Chemical Society and really love the simple chemistry explanation behind bioplastics especially polylactic acid.

This could be a fantastic material to share for teaching purposes. Enjoy!
